Looking on the bright side

Life is a circle.  You begin, naked, wet and unable to say what you want and need, then you end the same way.  Maybe they're really the same thing, in a way. I think that might be a nice way to look at something that seems so sad.

The real tricky part is the middle. After you learn to walk, talk and feed yourself, that's when the real trouble starts. Once you're on your own two feet, you are constantly being knocked back down.  I really do believe that the struggles in life are what bring out people's strengths, everyone should have to fight a little for their lives but I think there's a line somewhere where adversity stops making us stronger and starts to diminish our spirit.  They say when it rains it pours but what really happens, is trouble sneaks up on you once things are finally going your way and bites you in the ass to remind you that it's always around the corner.  So once it gets you, you have two choices, you can a)wallow in your misery and potentially make things worse for your self or b)think about the good things that could come out of the problem and find a way to stay positive and then be sad about it anyway when you're alone.
