If there is one thing that unites the human race, it is our common struggle. Struggle to pay bills, to put food in out mouths, to keep the ones we love comfortable. Even someone who has all the money or food or comfort in the world, struggles with at least one of those. I don't know about you guys, but I'm about sick and tired of that. A little sick and tired of struggling. Not like, "Oooo I want more money, I just want it to fall in my lap. And I want happiness, but no matter how drunk I get, I can't find it." No, that's not me. I don't mind working for money. I know happiness doesn't come from the bottom of a bottle. Money comes from hard work. That is law 9 times out of 10. Same with happiness. You have to "work" to obtain it. It does not fall out of the sky and you can't fish it out of a lake. There's a difference between feeling happy, and being happy. I think a lot of people mistake feeling happy for being happy. Not enough people are happy anymore. There are happy moments, even happy days, but I see a lot of good people struggling. I was always taught that hard work is repayed with respect. Good things would happen to good people and bad things to bad people. Now, even as a child, I knew there was an exception to every law. I knew if I did good things, the good person fairy wouldn't pop out of thin air and POOF good things happen. I knew it didn't work like that. But is it so much to ask to get ahead a little? I'm not talking about myself here, I'm talking about most. I have to watch good people
struggle every day. Worse and worse. You know what I mean too. You think, "jeez, they are such good people, that kind of shit always seems to happen to them". I'm starting to lose faith in the "happiness law". The good things to good people law. The only people I see on top, have cheated, scammed, and done bad things to good people. But where is this magical "karma" or whatever? Shouldn't these people be at the bottom? Shouldn't we be laughing at these people? Shouldn't they get their kick in the ass? No. I think they are laughing at us. "Look at all these assholes doing good things. Don't they know you gotta fuck someone over to get up here?". I don't think that is in me. I can't lie, cheat and steal to get to the top. Don't get me wrong, I'm not honest 100% of the time. I can't say I've never cheated or even stole. I just can't base my life on it. And I would like to think that that mentality alone would get me somewhere. The harsh reality of it is, it probably won't.----------------
