Me and my camera in my home town, my capital city, my london
Think this is the best bit of graffiti I’ve seen in a long time and it really struck me. It seems we’re so hard wired at the moment to dwell on the negative that when you are presented with the alternative it actually feels alien. Almost inappropriate. Am I even allowed to think positively when so much is apparently wrong? But maybe there is nothing wrong. This simple yet stunningly insightful piece of graffiti is trying to remind us that you always have a choice. If there is no actual reality other than how we observe and process it maybe its all within our power to control. You want happy? You can have it. You want misery? Yours for the taking. Both are available at at times. Its just a question of what you focus on. This is obviously about as upbeat as I am ever going to get on a Monday morning in freezing feb so am rollin’ with it…
i knew it! cheers for links, will take a look..happy monday to you too…
Actually, barring a few hotspots, everything is better than ever across many metrics.
