What I feel about the News

IT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.

-- Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens.




It is the best of all times, it is the worst of all times.
It is the time of technological advances, it is the time of artificial disasters.
It is the age of intelligent people doing dumb things, It is the age of ordinary people doing great things.
It is the days of great openness, it is the days of forbidden secrets.
It is the time of convenience, It is the time of information overload.
It is the time of freedom, it is the time of bondage and control.
It is a time of prosperous peace, it is a time of chronic violence.
It is a time of astonishing beauty, it is a time of revolting ugliness.


It is the epoch of belief, it is the epoch of incredulity.
There are many in high happiness, there are plenty in secluded depression.
It is the season of awesome light, It is the season of terrible darkness.
It is the Spring of Hope, It is the Winter of Dispair.

We have everything before us, We have nothing before us.
We are in Heaven, We are in Hell.

-- Modern Times, by Me.
