Every one of us has a problem, or maybe many. Maybe our problems are related to worrying about our loved ones, or maybe our problems come from what actions we take. In any event sometimes when you just want to escape your problems, and you wonder, what really is the point to life, it's time to remember that usually the cosmos works in mysterious ways.

Alot of crappy stuff has been happening lately, for my friends, my family, and to a lesser extent to me. But, I think the mature way to look at this is to go, why do I want to escape feeling badly for others and myself? Sure, it sucks right now, but often timesbec there is a silver lining, or a realization that I can make after these events happen. In a way it's the quote "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" that comes to mind. Life is in deed a series of ups and downs. I often wonder why people get what they get, and do they deserve it? because bad things can happen to good people, and good people can sometimes do bad things. Is it karma? just unlucky? are they mean otherwise?

I can't spend so much time doing this anymore. It is far better to accept that sometimes shit happens. And what determines your strength of character is how you deal with the aftermath. Also, no event is really a singular occurance. there are smaller moments that lead to those that stick out in our minds. Those particularly great and those particularly lousy.

For what it's worth, my prayers go out to you all.
