Trial and Error - Post #249

I can't imagine life without difficulties. Who can? Issues develop in the form of friends, family, school, jobs, everything. Each goal is masked by challenges, each happiness by tears. But life wouldn't be the same any other way.

Maybe that's the problem with society today. Everyone's trying to get rid of all the little difficulties, just get the shortcut to what you want. Don't exercise to lose weight, just have this pill. Don't read the book, just SparkNote it. Stupidity is not the enemy of the thinking man, but laziness.

It is said that parents of bright children should, while accepting their intelligence, shift the focus and praise instead to hard work and effort. It doesn't matter what you have. It's what you do with it. No one gets a free ride. Cheaters will receive their due, as will those who put into life all they have to offer.

Ehm. I was just thinking that not being able to chew for a couple days makes eating seem miraculous, having fitful, painful nights of sleep make a good rest blissful, and having a face the size of Texas makes even a bruised normal face a gift. I just think too much. =)

I don't want to go back to school. And I miss Tom. =(
