"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." - Oscar WildeOh I like this quote. See and feel the positive note in there? That's where we should focus our lives on.
Gutter is such an ugly word. For instance ---- the vulgar, sordid, unprincipled gutter mind, gutter emotion, gutter intelligence, gutter spirituality, and the physical gutter that's messing up the face of the earth.
It has its way with us because often we tend to fear it, ignore it, tell jokes about it, or tolerate it ------ more than we would even try to or attempt to lift a finger to resist it, fight it, expose it, censure it.
Luckily some of us have found the secret to rise above it -- overcome it -- or bash it down to smithereens! By fearlessly lighting the candle of HOPE in their hearts.
We are made free by keeping our hope - faith - courage - optimism - positivity - and dreams alive. And move our lives forward by living and acting on those principles.
A star-studded sky. Keep looking. Find your star. It's just there waiting for you. Besides there's enough for everybody.
Blessings!
