There Is No Magic In The World (46)
Bogart_1960: "This idea that good things happen to good people. That there's magic in the world. Too many good people suffer for that to be true. Too many prayers go unanswered. And every day it just gets worse. Every day we ignore how truly broken this world is, and we tell ourselves it's all going to be okay. But it's not okay. And once you know that, there's no going back. There's no magic in the world... at least not today there isn't...."
Sometimes bad things happen to good people…. what would you do without your "world"?

There is magic in the world ... and plenty of it ... LooK outside the square and you will see it every other day ... ...

I don't know if I'll answer your question with the following Bogart, but here is my 2 cents worth: Life isn't fair and in a lot of cases, we can't do anything about it, I also don't believe in karma.
Is there magic? Not as in the fairy tale ones, but there were moments in my life that when I look back, it makes me smile and they are magic to me.

PrOwLeR, _thanks... but, This post is NOT about me; I am a one of the fortunate ones!!!
Rephrasing the question:
1. in this world of turbulence, how do you react with the notion of “no magic” in your own lives?
2. What is human nature, and how do we react to the “bad magic” of the world? (war, famine, pollution, etc)

I totally disagree Bogey. Magic and miracles are al around us everyday. We live in a world of infinite possibilities. People are so busy sometimes waiting for that blinding flash of light. In reality miracles are small things that happen all the time.
I cant imagine living in a world with-out miracles or magic, maybe what it takes is simple belief and the eyes to see them with.

You're right, but the "good things happen to good people" delusion serves as an effective coping mechanism for people that are suffering. Just as it's a good way of cleansing any sense of social responsibility from people that are not.

Are people 'good', or 'bad'?
Are things 'good', or 'bad'.
Perhaps the magic is in the recognition that one person may be both 'good' and 'bad'...and we can make 'good' things out of 'bad' things, or 'bad' things out of 'good'.

tomcatwarne: Queen Victoria's era lives on in some peoples mind's, would you be a puritan going to America?
I'd say we're much more Edwardian than Victorian.
But seen as the Puritans were a groups of zealots who felt that the British establishment was too Liberal and open to alien and subversive views, then my answer would have to be yes.

There´s magic in viewing the colour combination in a rainbow
There´s magic looking into the eyes of someone beloved
There´s magic meeting old friends from that distant "ago"
There´s magic touching your soul when you are loved.

Bogart_1960: I dont think you read the post; it has nothing to do with religion : the question "is Sometimes bad things happen to good people…. what would you do without your "world"?"
or , to clarify, How behavior originates from the notion of human nature, or more specifically, that behavior is largely caused by someone's immediate environment. What is human nature, and does it exist?

Ah misunderstood in my own lifetime ;-) Bogart u always give me an F for my responses. Perhaps we are on different tangents and I will not reply as you expect? One to ponder
