The Choice is Mine Yours

I guess it's the way things work. Simple economics will tell you that eventually, no matter how high something is, it will come down.

Life is very much this way- a general feeling of happiness, interrupted by spurts of intense emotion.

I've heard it said that even a blind squirrel finds some nuts, or even a broken clock is right twice a day, meaning that everybody's always right sometime.

However, I think a more applicable interpretation would be, "Even the happiest have sad days."

It almost seems like a cruel fate that no matter what, there will always be points of sadness in our lives.

We have two choices when we do hit these potholes in our metaphorical happy highways:

A) Give up. Life's too difficult, you wouldn't have made it anyway. Besides, if you're not trying, then you can't possibly fail. right?

B) Suck it up. Life is difficult, that's what makes it a challenge. "That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" may not apply, but at least you're still alive, that's gotta mean something. Today may not have been a peak day, but if you don't give up, you've got the most valuable thing- a second chance. Tomorrow is another day, and if you can't make things better by tomorrow, you've always got the day after. It will get better.

Give up, or suck it up, the choice is mine yours.
