Sometimes DU reminds me of the following:

[JANdad]

Linus: He'll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity.
Sally Brown: Do you really think he will come?
Linus: Tonight the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch. He flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world.
Sally Brown: That's a good story.
Linus: You don't believe the story of the Great Pumpkin? I thought little girls always believed everything that was told to them. I thought little girls were innocent and trusting.
Sally Brown: Welcome to the 20th century!

4. It's all about some people and their wishful thinking.

Some people would rather wish for that which they hope will come to pass rather than seizing on what is available today to make a difference in the world and IMHO really hurt the cause...again...IMHO

5. Hmmm...OK, I get where you're coming from now.

I think it's a healthy balance between the two: both having the HOPE for what one wants to create in the world and also having the INTENTION to ACT in alignment with that hope.

Does that make sense? :shrug:

I agree with you, wishful thinking only gets you so far...but a willingness to take action, while keeping the higher perspective, gets you even farther.

It's all about Balance, imo.

3. The original line was 'Welcome to 1962'

But comic strips aren't drawn to be re-run 800 times.
