Our world is such a beautiful place if you look for the beauty . There are so many nice people everywhere . Go into Dunkin Donuts and strike up a conversation with a stranger at the nest table . Look at the tornados in the south . Whole towns smashed and the survivors are right back in there digging for any survivors . A lost child and 1,000 people that you don't even know will show up to search . Do you have a girlfriend , i'm telling you , she's beautiful . I recently got a flat tire outside of Minneapolis and 3 cars pulled over to see if they could help . I saw a young mother in the Mall of America carrying two baby twins and although i never spoke to her , i smiled for most of the day . I have 72 countries stamped in my passport and have been to the places they tell us not to go and only met incredible , helpful , friendly people , except for getting robbed in Milan and Zurich . Not a problem in the third or developing world . I've been to the Blue Mosque in Iran , and invited in . Just about everyone from Morocco to Syria wanted to not only talk to me but also take me home to share a meal . I've been to nude beaches in southern Spain and Argentina and the world is a beautiful place unless you sit at home and listen to the propaganda called media . Sure there are bad people and sure there is crime and war but the beauty far outweighs the ugly if you get out to see it . I don't ignore the ugly but i choose to focus on the beauty . I drove to Canada and then flew to Cuba for a great vacation on majestic beaches and toured Havana on a moped and never met an enemy . Smiling , firendly great people but we can't fly directly because our government says they are the enemy . Hugo Chavez may be a dickhead but i never met him . The people of Venezuala are terrific . It's an awesome world filled with beauty if you get out and experience it and that doesn't even include the natural wonders . So i said to myself , self , smile for things could be a lot worse , so i smiled and sure enough , things got a lot worse . It's your choice .
