Even more moving than the floating plastic, is what happens when sea birds carry it back to their nests and feed it to their chicks.

This is not a pleasant sight.

It's things like this that make me wish 2012 to be real.  

We all need to work together to make this a better world, not give up in defeat. It's time to stop the poor me, life isn't fair, routine. We've all been there. It's up to each of us to try and make things better for the next generation.

I know I'm not ready for this world to end. I have five grandchildren. I'm looking forward to helping them all grow to be adults; looking forward to great-grandchildren. I still have a lot more living to do.

I'm sorry you read my words in that vein.  Poor me, life isn't fair, or giving up in defeat is nothing at all what I meant by my statement.  Sometimes, a new beginning starts with an end. But that doesn't mean I am talking of total annihilation or death of all people.  Sometimes, a rude awakening is a catastrophe that changes life forever, but to a good end.. an end that starts a new beginning.  And sometimes, the catalyst that brings a new beginning comes from outside the circle..  because sometimes, what's within the circle (humanity) cannot change the circle from within the circle.. if that makes sense.. it's why it's called 'divine intervention'.

Of course, when I think if 2012 to be real, what I mean is not mass death and annihilation, but a complete fall of the structure of how humanity currently lives.. mostly by greed, violence, and vanity.  So maybe that helps understand where I'm coming from.. ;)

Critter, I was making a general statement about the mind-set of most people; it wasn't directed toward you. A man I respect commented this past week that it's time for us all to quit playing the victim, to take responsibility for our own future. I agreed with that sentiment when I read it; I still do. I was thinking of his words.


BTW . . . You might want to wait until I'm completely finished posting next time before you quote me. You'd be quoting what I actually said that way.

I"m confused.. I just looked at your post.. and what I quoted is the same?  And I apologize if I did something wrong, I saw your post posted and well, thought that meant you were done posting?  I dunno.. you have confused me.. LOL  :D  

But in the context you just explained.. yes.. there are many people feeling the victim of this or that.. or..  they are in the 'i'm helpless, i'm only human' mode waiting for a savior to come and save them and taking no responsibility for it.. cuz.. after all, they're human.. it's a bland excuse. 

My belief is that life is entirely within our own hands, and we have to step up to the plate here.. take responsibility.. and save ourselves.

As for taking the comment as directed to me, it's an easy mistake when seeing yourself quoted and then comments underneath.  Next time may want to state something to dispel that you are not replying to them personally.. cuz most people would think you are talking to them when you quote their words.  :)
