I realized today that my last couple of posts have not really conveyed what my life in the past couple of weeks/months have been. I blame laziness and also, perhaps the lack of lust to continue with this blog...but I was inspired to write today.
Something happened to me today that made me realized, "maybe bad things happen to good people in order for good people to stay good". Now, I know that sounds illogical, but let me explain what I mean. Unfortunately, I feel a little bit ashamed of what happened today, so I am just skipping over those details. Hmmmm, so how to explain the previous statement. Maybe, an example would be better. Such as, a young inexperienced teenager gets arrested for trying to buy for the very first time marijuana. He gets 2 nights in jail and 6 months of probation. On the other side, the drug dealer is living the great life and hasn't have a care in the world. There is the predisposition the teenager is good and caring citizen that in a moment of weakness gives into life's pressures. As the teenager gets caught, he says to himself, "Why me? Why of all the people in the world, why me?" Now, this can go two ways. First, the young man has lost all hope and faith and continues down the path of self-destruction. The second, the young man got such a scare and reaches an epiphany. Stupid actions that seem great and ecstatic at the present moment are not worth throwing away your life for. Maybe, it is a little bit too extreme, but I like the optimism in it.
What I am trying to say in a few words, I guess, is that I learned my lesson. I am not stating that I am going to turn a new leaf, but it is one step closer to getting me there. Only time will tell the outcome of today's events.
