Peter Pan and the Believers

If there were ever a time to ever believe in faeries, I do belive now would be it.

It seems the world has forgotten what it was like to believe in something that is bigger than themselves (or in this case, smaller). Fantastic things seem just a little beyond our reach and it seems as if we all but give up dreaming for something that is only real when we clap our hands and believe it is.

But more important than the fantastic things that seem to pop out of some storybook from our childhood, humans as a whole have ceased to believe in some of the most simple, yet crucial parts of our existence.

Ask yourselves -- Do you believe in God? (any God, really.) Do you believe in others? and, do you believe in yourself? I have has the misfortune to cross paths with individuals who answer no to all three.

What a sad existence -- when you can't, even if you tried, believe in anyone or anything? When you don't believe in anything, you don't have anything to live for, or anyone to live for. When you dont have that, what is the puropse of living?

We need to believe in something, in order to make something worth surviving this hard road we call life.

Do me a favor -- Believe. Believe in anything. Its better than believing in nothing, and if we all have something to believe in, we can make this world something that ends in the happily ever after of our dreams.
