Be Like Water My Friend

There is always more to do than sit down and feel hopeless.  The world moves on and time will heal all the hope that is lost.  If the world had ever stopped to sympathize for any reason, there is some supernatural force going on between time and whatever is going on.  Anyway, you could be living life like Larry and maybe end up tray sliding with your brand new Scion tC with a bunch of hood-rat friends.  What you do today will make a difference in the future so time cannot be wasted by sobbing in lost hope.  Everyone has better things to do and by creating memories with the people you care about or with just any random hobo or deadbeat off the street, it can create those fireside stories that you can tell your children or family when it’s that kind of time.  The “work to be done” is just a figure of speech to portray the duties that we do to keep society alive.  Faith, hope, trust, courage, and love are all characteristics that make up a person and determine their line of duty.  Surely the world is not perfect and there are people who end up in the wrong places of the earth with possibly the most inhumane duties but it balances the good side of life with the dark side.  Life can be explained in many possibilities and gravity will always drag you down, but it’s your choice whether or not you want to get up and make the future a better place or just sulk in your little corner until you die and realize that it’s too late to make a difference.  It may seem that there is no hope when you are brought down by whatever caused it and no one has the right to ever feel that way so we create standards and walls to prevent pain.  The truth is that hope will always be with you no matter what you do.  To make that statement clear, the present is hope itself because without the present, there is no future and if there is no future, there is no hope.  Going back to an old commercial I saw a while back, it explained life in terms of the driver.  The driver is the people and where the people are at is the present.  When they look into the rear view mirror, it is small and allows you to look back upon where you have been.  When they look through the windshield, it is vast and open because there are many possibilities and ways that you can take.  In ten years, that hope will eventually return and bloom into something more beautiful.  Spend time with your family because you never know when you will make that last phone call to whomever and life will cease to exist.  Stop spreading the hate, racism, and prejudice to begin admiring the similarities that we all share.  Never lose sight of your hope.  You only live once.
