The inner workings of a human mind are exceedingly complex. Just because I contemplate the bad things about the world does not mean I want to leave it. Nor does it mean that I do not find it beautiful. It means only that I see the world as it could be. We are too quick to judge each other, to label. We all want to believe that there is only the concrete in life. But just because I am happy does not mean that I am no longer sad or angry. I am real, I am human, and I am living my life. In the end, that is all that is needed.
In a scene from TOWN with Nicholas Crane, Patrick Stewart, of Star Trek and X-men fame, gets nostalgic over his childhood and recites a poem in his native Yorkshire dialect. His mother and aunt would recite the poem around Christmas time every year which is probably why he still remembers it many years later. Stewart was born in Mirfield - a small town in West Yorkshire England.
