Let me be even more clear.
There is a fine but very distinct line between holiness, and assholiness, and between a kind heart and a hard heart, and the final result of that process of distinction leads to either sorrow and despair and hopelessness, or utter joy and a predisposition towards hope and optimism.
The cynic is a loser and loses everything, and the optimist the only active participant in the creative process.
One is dead in the water, the other alive or in a process of transformation of some kind according to the pull of the oughtness of the isness of being.
On the other side, no its not some sentimental garbage about coming together and entering a new age and then we all forget about it a day later and go back to our self absorbed ways, as though coming out of church every week, filling our heads with something we truly wont use.

Yes. Probably everyone except yourself and maybe a few dozen people. Wherever did you get this idea?
well i would think a Mayan Elder should have more genuine claim to the knowledge than anyone else but what do I know...

In my experience there is a very blurry line between the two extremes you use. People can go from being hard of heart, to hopeful, and back again. Life isn't about being one thing all the time. Life changes people, throws them for a loop, and changes them again. Life is experience, not the interpretation of the experience as either good or bad.
