Optimism - A cup that should always be overflowing

Today i feel optimistic.. Like I never felt atleast in recent times.

It is not because I have achieved something.. Not even that I am confident that I will be or become something in future.

I just read an article in today's " The Hindu". I subscribe to that. I believe that It is probably the best English newspaper in India. It is non judgmental and lets the users form their own opinion.

It was about how humans are inherently social and good by large.
The circumstances make us what we are at that particular point.


Just the feeling that though this is supposedly "Kalyug" and It is one man to himself.. Especially when everyone is talking about how competitive the world is often we wonder whether goodness is lost out.. And add to that my placement semester.. Drives you nuts..

But just the fact that people are inherently good means that people do have a 2nd chance once they know that they have made a mistake.

I know my dreams. And I also the problems with doing that. Well i dream of working in NGO's for betterment of society. I am a environmental nut. I would love to travel.

but when I joined engineering I had made an commitment to myself. I will do whatever I want with my own money. Call it independent or anything.

So that pushes back these things by 30 years or so.
But yes I certainly will travel . I will volunteer and work in developing the society. As far as environment is concerned small measures like using tube lights, switching them off when not in use, refraining from using plastics, promoting local foods etc should be fine.
