Cape Breton. The Paradox of Emotion. Love to Hate it.

I don't grasp it, but it seems all the fundamentals of deviance and low employment rates are what people often base their low opinion on the island, but ironically aside from the employment issues, those same deviant social factors play in not just the island's communities, but practically almost any town or city.

It's as if we vent to help nullify our feelings, but only for a short period of time before all the negativity manifests again. Did you ever think you are the very cause of the negativity? You are what you eat as they might say and being negative in general about something almost unavoidable seems a tad absurd to me.

The island isn't perfect, but nowhere is. So take a deep breath and think about the rest of the world before you decide to voice your thoughts. (I'm not singling out opinion, but I just feel similar to Plato on this one and that is: "Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance and unfortunately ignorance seems heavily weighted against knowledge).
