Where are our friends? Where is our hope? Where have all the good times gone?

I just remember how summer would pass and Xmas was just around the corner, there was not much to worry about. In my spanish blog I was writing about manipulation and all sorts of bad things we learn in our lives, now I still wonder, can we live our lives in peace? Is it all in our heads?

are we just cursed to live in sorrow and fear? I think is very natural, almost everybody fears (almost anything)
