Warning: I'm about to become new-agey philosophical here.
We were just watching a good episode of Angel (2nd Season) in which Angel has an epiphany about the importance of actions. That is, that in the Big Picture sense, one's actions don't have much of an impact; yet paradoxically, our own actions are the only thing that really matters in the here and now. So, to use an apt cliche, it's not the winning that matters, it's how you play the game.
Coincidentally, I've been coming to the same realization over the last few months. Why be so caught up and obsessed about one's life its disappointments when that mode and its accompanying attitude doesn't result in anything positive? Trust me - I know from whence I speak. Be a good person, take pleasure in the small things, do random acts of kindness, connect with other good people. Yeah, there will always be nasty, rude folks of all sorts, but you'd be surprised how the rest respond to something as simple as a smile. Even in this city!
In effect, it's all about the process & the journey. Why not infuse something positive into that journey - which by the way isn't a solo, isolated one - why not create some positive energy?
What could it hurt?
