Be happy! Believe whatever makes you happy! Understand that you are powerful, you are FREE no matter what anyone tells you! Be yourself and let no one get in your way! Be happy and let no one get in your way!

What about people in Somalia?
Should they be happy?
The slums in India?
People in the west shouldnt be happy either because of these things.
I would like to see you tell someone in Somalia that they should look on the bright side.
Are people starving in Somalia just thinking the glass is half empty?

This is true you are free to suffer the consequences of your actions AND the consequences of the actions of others. Not to mention the Actions of Nature as well.
It does not matter how well the cake decorator decorates the cow patty, its still a cow patty.

Yes?
Go talk to the children starving. Tell me what they say. What about the kids that have been raped? The women that have been raped? Human trafficking? Innocent people that get killed everyday.
This isn't Heaven. Either you're delusional, or your ignorant optimism has completely blinded you from the cold reality we're all living in.
Heaven doesn't progress towards perfection, it just is.

...that fertilises the earth to produce the food YOU & I eat...
FREE WILL includes the option of removing yourself from situations/timelines that would place you within the actions of others...
The inclusion of a self-regulating condition (in nature) is a spurious inclusion, and tells more about the state of mind of the includer.

Tell that to the worlds starving, the slaves in 3rd world countries and the dead due too governmental wars, terrorist attacks and places like Haiti from Earthquakes. Did they have a choice? How about those that could walk for months and never leave the affected/controlled areas. Or how about the crippled that cant walk. This world is not Heaven but a testing ground to get there. Sugar coating the world with rose colored glasses will never make it more than it is.
Yes, it is a world of possibilities, a world of experience, and a world of lessons to learn to progress forward toward Heaven but this reality is NOT Heaven, as perfect as it may be, in order to teach the lessons needed to be learned to get there.
