There is something ingrained in our blood, sweat and tears that pushes us to splurge, smoke and swallow more than we should – to trust blindly in the same governments which have failed us not once but twice, and ally with countries that have continued to denounce, betray and beguile us. We wait patiently for saviours from amongst us hoping that they will do the cleaning up for us – each time, our self-proclaimed saviours kick us to the curb – incredibly disengaged from reality, hoping desperately that the tides would change and we would emerge shiny and golden from the ashes. In a world filled to the brim with all kinds of psychopaths, the globe warming a little too quickly, the economy falling in debris over and over again, our beloveds breaking our very hearts everyday and our own government failing us every time, how do we still stay so darn optimistic? Why do we fall down, only to brush our broken, battered and bloody knees?
