Merry Christmas All

[+ScroogieII]

 As it reads above, I'm wishing a Merry Christmas, as well as a Healthy and Happy New Year, to all; to those who may read this thread and to those who may never read it.

 

This year I have tried and tried to write another Christmas Poem for the community, the theme being a COVID Christmas.

However, each time I began again it always came out pretty much the same, a Dark & Foreboding story which neither you nor I wish to read, much less experience.

For myself, I'm left with no words of encouragement or joy for the future which I am able to impart here so, instead, I have chosen to brazenly steal the writing of, ... yes ..., a Comedy Writer.

The following, reproduced in its entirety, is a passage written by Chuck Lorre, a comedy writer for such television productions as The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Dharma & Greg, Mike & Molly, Two and a Half Men, and more. While a truly estimable comedy writer, the esteemed Mr. Lorre has also been blessed with the rare ability to divine the depths of our minds and souls, bringing to light that which we mere mortals often fail to see.

 

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #400
I've been told that if you change your mind, you change the world - or at least the way You experience it. Let's take a moment to examine that. The presumption is, if you thought the world was a hostile, ugly place filled with awful people doing awful things, that is what you'd see. Your mind would naturally seek out confirmation for its preconceived ideas (e.g. if you're intent on buying a red car, as you go about your day you'll see lots of red cars). If, however, you were able to sincerely change your mind and see that we are all God in drag, that we are the conscious aspects of a perfect universe which had to create us so we could bear witness and stand in awe before its loving magnificence, then that is the soul-shaking reality you'd be greeted with each and every moment of each and every day. In other words, it is entirely our choice as to what kind of world we live in. With a simple decision, we can suffer in the darkness or play in the light. We can be angry, frightened and enslaved, or loving, joyous and free.
I know. It's a toughie.
