Life ain't all that bad.

Welcome to the real world, everyone. Systems are designed to be corrupt. Even the church. Religion. The power is in the hierarchy. Women are second class in many churches. Denied equality with men. And good believers live with it. Because that's the way it is. The church is corrupt. The pedophiles. It was well-known in the church that pedophiles thrived within the system. But there was cover-up. And look at the monetary riches of the church. Rich. Rich. Rich. While many in the flock are poor, poor, poor. Destitute. Do I sound like a cynic? Like Diogenes? Corruption is the rule. Not the exception. Yet, I find life wonderful. Really. So much to savor. Not the least being the ability to love. Each other. Don't let the worst of the world get you down. Focus on the best. Yes, life ain't all that bad. If you learn to appreciate it. --Jim Broede
