Things Work In Funny Ways

It's way to easy to be jealous about other people's live, the things they have, and the qualities they possess, but too hard to remember those which you have and should be grateful for. It's so simple to fall at the hands of defeat through stress, pressure, worries, and fear, but not easy enough to keep standing strong -or even get up again- for belief, hope, and morals. It's normal to expect the worst, to be a pessimist, and to find reason to hate it all, however, very rare to see the hope and light, to be an optimist, and to find reasons to love it all.
It's easy to complain, hard to change...
Effortless to take, but difficult to give...
Second nature to walk away, but inconvenient to lend a hand...
It's just fine to demand, but never comply...
Simple to fall, challenging to run...
Convenient to support oneself, but problematic to carry another...
Easy to hate, hard to love...



The list goes on... it's sad but it's true. It's terrible that sometimes we give in to these things, but the best part is, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we know about the paradox of our actions and we force ourselves to change. I guess it's amazing really, because it brings new meaning to the value of the things you work for. I'm sure that I for one appreciate things more in life that I learned were essential for me to be without and initially took for granted. I believe I am stronger for being weak, happier for being sad, more giving for being demanding and kinder for being cruel. I'm sure I have ways to go on the path of righteousness, but I'm also sure my flaws will help me find the way.
