We all have got to deal with shit in our lives. Some of us have got more shit to deal with than other people. And no I'm not referring to the random piece of homework issued by the prison warden in b22 from time to time, nor the occasional stomachache that has you running to the toilet. It's about a chronic, on-going and permanent type of shit. Ok most of you probably have no damn idea what I'm talking about but I'm sure a few do and that's enough.
It's not emo-ness nor is it angst. Emo-ness and angst is a temporary fleeting state of depression brought about by a sudden environmental or emotional change and it tends to disappear by itself. Crap. It seems like some of us have everything going for us. Everything but something. And it's that one thing that's ruining it all. I believe everybody has at least some shit to deal with in their life, the difference lying in the amount and degree of crap one has to endure. I can't exactly say I got shortchanged in life and anyway most of you people would disagree with me anyway. I mean there's always a positive side to the coin and you can say that it's all going to make you stronger but that's assuming that you get through it in the first place, which is of coures a very big assumption to make.
It's quite an interesting question whether it's better to lead a life adorned with material possessions but lacking in emotional stability or a life with adequate physical requirements but anchored in spritual peace.
