Love this quote by George Bernard Shaw
"Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not."
It's really up to use to make our own future.

A marvelous collection of quotes, I particularity like this one:
"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." -- Viktor Frankl
With God's grace we always have the freedom to choose to not be selfish and give in to self-pity and dispair. Its a choice!
