Reality

George Harrison
If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.

I'm chatting with Lance and we're talking about everything, again, as usual, and then we manage to start talking about how, as Lance puts it, reality sucks the life out of us.

I manage to say, you know, reality really has a bad rep. Reality is fine as it is. It's our dreams and ideals that make it look bad. How can reality compare with what our imaginations say things should be?

And it is true. We really just have to ride it out, you know? Live it, adjust to it and learn to move through the ebb and tide of its movements. Roll with the punches. Learn the footwork. Box like your opponent is going to kill you. Kill `em first.

This world is tough, tough for everyone. Deep down inside, I really, truly feel that God doesn't put us through what we cannot handle. So everyone who's going through so much means they're just tougher people than most. At the same time, though, I also believe that we get what is coming to us. Some people, despite all the rational thinking and the obvious clues and signs, still manage to fuck up their lives because they chose to do something stupid. I mean, hello? if you don't work, you won't get money, you starve! You going to do criminal things, if you get caught, you go to jail. Suffer the consequences of your actions. Work hard and earn the life you want to live. Some people go through tough shit and they get through it. No one has an excuse to slack off, to sit down and blame the world.

Look at Hellen Keller. She was born deaf, dumb and blind. She fought against it and was able to succeed. What right does anyone of us have to sit down and cry and demand for a better world? Make it so.

Yeah, life sucks at the moment. There's definitely something rotten in Denmark. So what are you going to do about it?
