Just a thought

Life sometimes overwhelms me.

There are so many nuances to living in our world as a responsible person. So many things one should know so that it's possible to go to sleep at night with the thought that you've at least tried your best to your best. The upcoming election, the War in Iraq and the place of America in the world, finding ways to live that do the least amount of damage to our only home. Eating in a healthful manner, making sure that those you love are taken care of to the best of your ability, trying to help others when and where you can. Knowing enough to be a responsible citizen. Making sure you pay your bills, and trying to prepare for the future. Trying to find ways to leave this world a better place than it was when you started. Taking care of yourself well enough that all of the other things are possible, and tending to your own happiness.

I don't think any reasonable person can look at the scope of what is required to be a good and responsible person, citizen, or friend, without being a bit taken aback at how much there all is.

Perhaps that's why we're all short-sighted sometimes, why we limit our view to only what is close and immediate.

Maybe that's why I like online comic strips so much.
