Life has taken a few interesting turns lately. Things aren’t necessarily the best that they have been, but that’s life. If things don’t always go as we hope they do, we sometimes get upset. But really, what good does that do us? It doesn’t help to fret, it doesn’t help to get angry or upset at things we can’t control. Nor does it help to complain, or belittle. I have realized in the last week who some of my true friends are, and some that aren’t. We can’t control what happens in life. We can’t control what other people do. Such a true statement if you think about it. A better question though: Would we want to? I watch all of these students in my room at work; come in and out, pretending to live out there lives, which they think is significant in the long run. But when in reality, it is so insignificant. It sickens me sometimes; it sickens me to watch superficial, insignificant people act like complete fools, for nothing more than their gain. That is life though. That’s our society. That is how most people were raised, that is the norm that they know. We all say we aren’t spoiled, and point fingers at those who are spoiled. But to be honest, we are all spoiled, extremely. We don’t really know what it is like to live without something. I mean sure, maybe our parents limited us on some things, causing us to grow up with, what some would call, good values. But in the long run, we all get what we want. That is human nature; that is the world. Take thieves for an example; they just attain what they want in another way. I’m not agreeing with their course of action, but how is it that different than what we do? Sure we work for it, sure we think we’ve “earned” it, but have we really? The answer is no. I guess I may be raving today but it just seems like people take way too much for granted in this world.
