    Go somewhere where t.v. doesn't exist, where money has no current translation in the indigenous language...and watch the locals live for just a day..I have to warn you. Don't do this unless you are ready to move...

    Of course. You just need to learn how to accept the negative and enjoy the positive. Today, for example, 27 innocent souls were cruelly murdered by a man in an elementary school. While this is a terrible event and I sympathize all of those involved, I will not mourn their death for the rest of my life. Rather, I will accept the fact that there are sick people in this world and that innocent people are unfortunately killed. I will move on, over time, and enjoy the rest of my life for the positive, not the negative.

    Josh, kids are smarter than you give them credit for. Kids can find joy and happiness anywhere. Their minds are younger and stronger than ours. Their hearts are full of youthful ideas and even solutions to things we can't even imagine. Have faith. There is happiness. You will find it in the heart of our youth.

    in the world, momentary happiness exists as "relief". at least, that way.
