Hopeful Anticipation

What ever happened to logic, reason, relativity, and progressive thought? The general public seems to be void of these things. Co-operative competition has seemingly disappeared, yet destructive competition is abundant in our lives. Hypercompetitiveness is all too common. Why did "right" and "wrong" become so personal? I don't understand why people so aggressively argue over matters of opinion. And too often over the most trivial things. So much energy is being wasted on negative emotion.

How many times a week do you expose yourself to unnecessary, avoidable stress-evoking situations? If it's any more than zero, take the time to ask yourself why.

Really?!
