LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BAD NEWS! A PIECE OF REALITY PRESENTS. Ladies and gentlemen... Bad news! Please don't panic. I know you were hoping for good news. But unfortunately... there is no good news today. And judging by the way everyone has gathered... you are already more interested. Good news walks. Bad news runs. And sometimes... bad news has already reached the village before the person carrying it leaves the house.
A young man says he has a dream. 'We laugh.' 'Dream again.' We have become professional dream reducers. Before a child can fly... we explain the dangers of aviation. And when the child finally stops dreaming... we complain 'Why are young people no longer ambitious?' Wonderful. We killed the dream... then attended its funeral. And what about kindness? Kindness has become suspicious.
The Good Samaritan arrives... and we ask for his police report. A helper stretches out his hand. We search his pocket for a knife. We have become experts at expecting the worst. Perhaps... the bad news is not always what happened. Perhaps sometimes... the bad news is what we have become. We got exactly the kind of world we kept expecting. Ladies and gentlemen... that is the bad news. And perhaps... believing that it can still change is the beginning of the good one.
