heh i dont understand how anyone could bash on the whole PLUR 'concept'. its a traditional religious/social value that everyone cherishes, but most people just dont go around giving hugs to everyone and preaching PLUR every second of their lives. i personally think thats destroying any respect that you can have for anyone by being annoying and intruding into personal space (people seem to have a weird attachment to their bodies

)
but i dont think the whole PLUR attitude is completely unrealistic and unreasonable either. everyone and anyone that has any compassion to life itself should realize that and put their beliefs and ideas to action. change something by using your head and what you have on ur plate. use education to propel you, and then glide with grace. to say that PLUR is dead is to say that compassion is dead, and if thats the case, then theres really no point in any social interaction. you can still exemplify the concept and show people that this PLUR 'joke' really goes a lot further than they think. it goes further than the drugs some people choose to do in and out of raves and it goes further than the music as well. its just the golden rule in a generation that needs help remembering it.
and dont forget, just cuz life sucks and shit's getting worse everyday, what does it help to be cynical about it? hate and aggression r just devices to make u think u feel better about something, when in actuality ur just hiding being a tactic of fear. to embrace everyday as if it were the best day in the world is a lot more fulfilling than rejecting everyday as if it might as well not even happen. i can say for myself, i KNOW i consistently get a lot more shit done in one day than the cynic achieves in a year. whether its true or not doesnt really matter, but with my outlook on it i know i will be smiling at the end of that year.
take care family
