| sometimes life becomes too much to handle, but when that happens, laugh. it may seem strange or absurd at first, but as you continue to laugh, you'll find that the vibration in your chest begins to shake out all of the sadness or anger or fear that you were holding in and is finally released with every brusque exhalation of air. it won't cure you, won't solve your problem, but it'll make you realize that no matter how bad it gets, there will always be better times. and there WILL be better times.

| never settle for anything. ever. fight for everything. fight until you're so worn out you can't even begin to think about going on. and then fight some more. do this and you'll never be a failure, because no matter what the outcome, you will always know that you gave it everything.

| when i was little, i used to want to be an astronaut. i thought it would be so cool to be out there among the stars, floating around weightlessly. as i grew older, my desire to be an astronaut didn't change, but the reason for wanting to be so did. as the blindfold of innocence was slowly removed from my eyes, i began to realize what an ugly world it is that we live in, and could only wish that somehow i could escape it. i thought that by traveling up into space i would be saved from it all, be miles and miles away from all the suffering, and be able to look down on the earth as i had always ideally pictured it in my mind: serene, beautiful, and without boundaries. i do not think myself to be wise; at nineteen i hardly think i can say i have revealed all of life's secrets. but i have learned something throughout the years: you can't run away. as i inch closer to choosing a career, my heart is no longer tempted by thoughts of space. in fact, it has turned to face quite the opposite direction. most of my life . . . all of my life . . . up to this point, has been spent in an attempt to avoid confrontation. but upon reflecting on my past actions, i have come to realize that by running away, by escaping, i only decrease the availability of places i have to return to. that's why i have decided to join in on the fight for world peace, and do so by working for the UN. when i tell people of my new found goals and aspirations, they smile politely and tell me how nice it is that i'm striving for my dreams. i know that when they smile it is only to humor me, because i can see in their eyes that they think my goal is a futile one. but i'm going to let you in on something: it's not. as long as there are people who are willing to fight for a better world, there will always be a hope of peace. but another thing is that people usually assume that world peace basically means an end to all fighting. that's not it at all; world peace does not merely come at the drop of all arms. it extends far beyond that. world peace includes the end of poverty, hunger, disease, debt . . . suffering. it is a fight for a better quality of life for all people. it is THIS idea that i have chosen to defend. | | |
| there's a thing about diet drinks and diet foods that once you get used to them you get hooked and have this strange preference for them over regular drinks and food. it's wierd, because everyone knows these diet items don't taste as good as the real thing. yet, you find a lot of people consuming these items, often not for nutritional reasons, but because they've become so accustomed to the taste that they just no longer care for...normal...food. the thing about diet products is that they take away all the natural stuff like the fat, sugar, or salt that gives the flavor, and they replace it with a billion chemicals in an attempt to re-create the natural taste of the item. a pseudo taste. now, if it's possible to do this to food, is it possible to do the same to life? is it possible that we eliminate everything that naturally brings us happiness and replace it by filling the void with artificial things, material things, in an attempt to re-create that happiness? a pseudo happiness. and the scary thing about it is, if it's possible to develop a preference for diet foods and drinks over regular ones, is it also possible to develop a preference for a diet life over a regular one? is it possible that we no longer care to live a quality life, to have true happiness, because we would rather consume and consume in an effort to produce that same sort of happiness? a diet life. craziness. | | |
