some days, you stomp through life and just need a reminder...

(yes, the über-long hyperlink below is intentional, not a mistake.)

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think about the arrivals gate at heathrow airport.
general opinion is starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed,
but i don’t see that. seems to me that love is everywhere.
often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, as far as i know, none of the phone calls from the people onboard were messages of hate or revenge. they were all messages of love.
if you look for it, i’ve got a sneaking feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around."
