Quote of the day...

Dr. Oz on Oprah today, explaining the growth of a 140 lb tumor...
"Cancer cells are sociopathic. They don't get along with each other. So they are moving around jabbing elbows at each other."

My first thought: sounds like our world today.

I'm not a pessimist by nature... except when it comes to "Corporate America" and taxes... but the reality is that our society has become complacent, indifferent, and self-absorbed. We've encouraged people to be entirely self-seeking, yet we have failed to encourage them to discover who they truly are... to find and honor their true purpose. And, we've failed to follow basic principles of human decency along the way.

So we've filled the streets with people who just spent 10 hours working at a job that can't stand on their way home to a spouse they don't love in the house they can't afford... anger and anxiety neatly packaged in a giant SUV to impress people they don't even like while they complain about the price of gas. Poisoning their soul... and the environment that contains it. Cutting each other off. Flipping each other off. All in a big fat rush to do it all over again in the morning.

This is where the "cancer" begins...
