The trouble with life

The trouble with life is that it is what it is.

Once in a while I forget that and think that I am in control, but that is always only partially true.

We all have free will, so no one single person is ever really the one and only.

Life is a collaboration whether I like it or not.

The first indication of that is preschool when my teacher decides if I am playing well with others, or not.  Later on when I am forced to work with others on group projects it often seems easier to just do something rather than delegate and accept another's work, but the point is that we need to learn how to work together.

Life is not so much about who is right as it is making the best of what is.

In fact, that may the secret to relative happiness: learning to make the best of all situations.

We are in this together -- the good, the bad, and the ugly.
