Brangelina’s Babies!!

Like it or not, I seem to be inundated with spam emails about the Brangelina Twins. Seriously why would I care about strangers having twins or not? What I do care about is that since these two celebrities (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie if you are somehow out of the loop – what world are you living on – can I join you?) have had twin babies, my life has been adversely affected. I have received several emails (spam) daily trying to get me to click on a link for photos, and they seem to be everywhere. And my question is why? They are simply two people considered relatively attractive in the acting world who got married and had kids! Why would I care?

I really wish people would get a life rather than try to live someone else’s, and even more importantly, I really wish that people would let me live my own life. I really have no reason to want to live their lives. They really offer me no inspiration, so why would I care?

Hope

I shamefully often think that there is no hope left in the world. I think of all the horrible things that happen in the world… murder, theft, assault, rape, hunger, gossiping, bitchiness, inconsideration, reduction in family values, fighting for religion, wars, etc, etc… I do not think I need go on.

Yet sometimes I realise that Hope is still very much alive. Take the case of Madeleine McCann. Her parents have still not given up hope. I admire them for that. They hope that she is still alive and well. And for their sake I hope so too. Hopefully she was only taken to fulfill a mother’s void and that person will eventually realise the pain she has put Maddy’s parents through, and may return her safe and sound.

Perhaps I am sceptical and lack hope… but hope still seems very much alive and around, and perhaps that is why there is hope left for the world because each of us has precious hope!
