Attitude

What's wrong with the world, wrote Chesterton, is that we don't ask what's right with it. This is not a statement of ideology. After all, I may reply that what's right is a community food co-op. It's a statement of attitude. It says the glass is half full, not half empty. This conflict is a major theme in my developing novel. Brinkley for half full. CJ for half empty. A novel of ideas, destined for commercial failure. Big deal. It might end up as good as I think it can be.
