Thank you for that Jules. I am actually very much with you in this - we spend way too much time and attention on the things and people we don't like. I think part of this is because there is a lack of vision of what it is that we do want and like. We know what we don't like and so we see it around us. It takes a great deal of work to focus in on a vision and work at that instead. Plus, we're in a bad habit of waiting for someone else to come up with the vision. That's a bad strategy. No one is coming to the rescue. Now is the time to focus on where we need to go and why, to articulate a vision that offers a better alternative, something that is actually appealing and improves lives. We can't wait for someone else to do it. That's what I'm focusing on. I welcome hearing your vision as well. That's how we drown out the crap that is going on.
