I know.  I suppose at our age the way we interpret the universe is 
fairly fixed-it has become part of our base personality....whether we 
see the glass as half empty or half full.  I have done better over the 
years, but I will always fight the pessimistic side of me that sees a 
hostile universe first...I often shake my head, rub my eyes, and only 
then can I see that things weren't as I thought at first.
Homesteading and living this lifestyle as opposed to my previous 
lifestyle definitely helps calm me so that I can see/perceive the 
friendly universe.  In a city/urban/suburban environment, where there 
are too many people, too much noise, and too much pollution, it becomes 
very, very difficult to see anything but hostility.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will 
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the 
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone 
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve 
the problems of the human race"

~ Calvin Coolidge
