the glass is half full
I can't stand seeing the pitiful ~sigh~ entry at the top of the page. I thought about just deleting it but it really did capture my mood, and this is supposed to be a journal, so of course nobody should expect every entry to be laced with butterflies and sunshine.
I still can't think of anything super cheery to write, but I have to believe that deep down inside, all people want to be good (how very Anne Frank of me...btw if you haven't read her diary you ought to. Maybe I'm a little morbid but I've read it more than once.)
It is hard to balance my optimistic side with my very logical personality. After all, doesn't everybody have a CHOICE whether they want to "do the right thing"? The rational black-and-white part of me screams "yes, when it comes down to it" but the sensitive part of me considers what factors may have shaped that person's life. Poor parenting contributes to a lot of society's problems. If a child is exposed to a dysfunctional role model, does (s)he deserve allowances as an adult? I'm really not sure. It boggles the mind to imagine all the ways behavior can be reinforced.
I intended a light-hearted tone, not a departure into the world of psychology theories.
Without further ado, for your enjoyment:

Butterflies and sunshine, while beautiful, are overrated. Give me caterpillars and an overcast sky, and I'm happier.
