    <p>Excellent post Seal. In my opinion, resiliency& optimism are 2 very important traits. Both of which many will need to rely on right now. </p>

    <p>Seal, once again makes an article which forces readers to think, and challenges them to be better people.</p>
    <p>Perspective is something I've been thinking a little bit about lately, but it seems to be a vicious circle.  Assuming your priorities are in order (you value your family and family time more than work, etc), it's really hard to make lasting changes.  Sure, there are always those out there worse off than you.  Yes, most of us feel like we should do something to change the world.</p>
    <p>Yet, if you dwell on that, you won't be able to do your day to day things that not only you have to do to survive, but that make life enjoyable.  Really, how dare you watch Fringe on Tuesday night when kids are dying of starvation.  How can you drop $100 on a night out with the wife when kids are out there freezing and homeless.</p>
    <p>Yet, if you go through your whole life doing that, you may live a humble godly existance, but you won't be enjoying life at all, and don't you have the right to gain whatever enjoyment you can from your time on earth?</p>
    <p>It's nothing I have the answer to</p>

    <p>Okay article, however everyone has a story to tell and if you decide to call it bad or good luck that is how you perceive it.</p>

    <p>Great article. </p>
    <p>But what you Americans should do right now is listen to Ron Paul and Peter Schiff. They are the only ones who will tell you the truth about who's to blame for this global mess and how to fix it.</p>
