Simply Unbelievable

Life is incredible. The endurance of the human heart and mind never ceases to astound me. How someone can turn something so bad into a "learning experience" and then have the strength to help others away from hopelessness, how time can help mend a broken heart, and how we constantly adapt to the changes in our lives though we are creatures of habit that yearn for the invariable.

I find it simply delightful that every spirit has been given the gift of compassion (though some choose to neglect it). On the other end of the spectrum I do realize everyone has also the potential to destroy life. Which reminds me of the saying "I trust everyone, it's the devil inside them I don't trust."

I take comfort in knowing that we have the knowledge to perpetually grow and learn and advance in our worldly views. I find it unbelievable the potential we would all have if we could use more than a quarter of our brain. I find it amusing that we can laugh about making mistakes and cry about joyous moments.

That we have the endurance to perform daily for hours on end doing something we disdain. That we can survive with only a few hours of serene and pleasant activity a day.

I also find it incredible that a mood is something changeable by will that has been implanted by the mind, and that we all seem to take for granted the ability to control our emotions as well as our actions (although a tiring effort).

I believe I need to be thankful to be alive even when life seems catastrophic. It is generosity in some and greed in others that give people the variety and spice to life.

After all, "Any idiot can survive a crisis. It takes a hero to survive daily life."
