.....does not glitter

I have been thinking about the title I chose for this blog:
"All that is gold does not glitter....."

One thing that is supposed to be golden is life.  And it sure does NOT glitter.  There is so very
much selfishness and greed in our world.  There is much too much racial and religious distrust
and disparity.  Way too much gun violence, way too much of any kind of violence.  There is just
an unbelievable amount of hatred out there.  I could go on and on but everyone knows what our
world is like, what it has become.  I've said this before.....it's NOT supposed to be this way.

Every couple of weeks I see this saying:
"Life is a journey and only you hold the map."

Whenever I think of this saying I usually paraphrase it to myself this way:
"Life is a journey and only you hold the key."

It seems I have apparently spent my entire life stuck in doorways related to that life, where
opposing things exist on each side.  I guess only I hold the key to my doorways.
