Makes me think that humanity isn't completely screwed.
There's a lot of good out there. Sometimes it can be challenging to see over all of the negatives. But it's like the stars in the sky. Sometimes you don't notice them, but when you do--you can see just how beautiful they are. And the more you look, the more you see. And before you know it--all you see are stars from sky to sky across the universe.

I love Ted Talks. Andrew Solomon did a bunch that I really loved. I even bought his book! I listen to his stuff about every 6 months or so to kinda get my head in the right place when I'm lost in the sauce. Sometimes it's easy to get used to a set group of people and forget the differences or struggles of others. But every so often something sparks my inspiration to try and push beyond my comfort zone.

In response to someone else. Personal issues sometimes are something we talk about at work. I actually covered a co-worker's shift today, because they had a doctor's appointment. I know at the end of the day--we're all in it for the money. That's why we work. But for those very short moments in my life where we're a team. I truly believe we're like a small family, and I do care about the well-being of my coworkers.

I probably wouldn't tell them the gross stuff. But that's for my wife. ^.^ She's a nurse, so she's got the kind of story that'll even give me the shivers!

(Note): Ceri, if you ever want to talk more about Ted Talks stuff! I love it! I'll be sure to check out that video you linked.
