Chicken Soup for the World
November 28, 2002
I'm just finishing up reading Fast Food Nation, and it reminded me that there is so much wrong with this world. Horrible corporations, famine, disease, war, hate, stupidity, tons of crap. It's very depressing.
Then, as I left the boat and headed to my bus, I noticed a chain of people holding the door for one another. It made me feel good. It also reminded me of an overcommercialized and incredibly sappy book, Chicken Soup for the Soul. I read a number of the books in the series while in high school and they reminded me that there is good in the world. A single person or small group of people can do amazing things. When I review Fast Food Nation in a couple days I'll get into this more when I talk about the McLibel case and other aspects of the book. Look forward to it.
p.s. I'm leaving on a jetplane tomorrow. Enjoy your turkey and cranberries.

I believe that there are bad people in this world, but there are many more good people.
