Mayans and Maybes

The day is still young, but it doesn't look like the world is going to end today, after all.

Maybe the world as we know it should, though.

Maybe today is the day the world can end acts of violence.

Maybe today is the day the world can end prejudice and hatred.

Maybe today is the day the world can end selfishness and greed.

Maybe today is the day the world can learn to cherish our children, respect our elders and value each other.

Maybe today is the day that spammers, scammers and shitheads in general can stop preying on others and do some real work in the world.

Maybe today is the day that we can cure cancer and the common cold.

Maybe today is the day we can end our extremist points of view, from the over-the-top NRA to the far side who thinks that somehow the guns themselves are evil.

Maybe today we can learn to compromise.

Maybe today is the day that we can find charity in our hearts, compassion for others and learn to stop judging.

Maybe today is the day to make the world as it is now end, and start a better one. Beginning with me. And you.
