Whenever I'm having a really bad day and things couldn't possibly get worse, I pull myself back from the brink by reminding myself, hey, at least I don't have to live in Gaza.
Between the rival gangs of gunmen on the ground, Israeli drones and Apaches overhead, 60% unemployment, life in Gaza has got to be one hopeless dreary slog.
Luckily for the people of Gaza, the American based Center for Mind-Body Medicine is teaching them how to look on the bright side. Are they bringing peace, jobs, law and order, and an end to the blockade?
No.
They're bring meditation and dance. Apparently Gazans will feel better if they close their eyes, dance in circles, and imagine that they are somewhere else.
Based on the program's success in Gaza there are plans to export it to Egypt and Syria where many are feeling frustrated at their stalled Arab Spring.
Don't let that evil dictator get you down; just close your eyes and dance!
