I often struggle with ideas about value systems. Just where do we find truth and beauty? Do we only look to the heavens or in the majestic poetry and prose of Shakespeare? What does it mean then when a simple television show can touch some corner of our hearts and minds?
It is no less a profound an experience that comes from a glimpse into a dark corner that reveals a glimmer of light when it is some commercial show that generally follows the banal and formulaic path in the ratings game.
I am always amazed at how much hope I feel at times like that. For all that as a species we are abusive and ugly we are no less beautiful and filled with light. Perhaps that is the very essence of being alive in this world of ours. We yearn to be more than we are or dream of becoming all that we can be.
