Into the fray

I guess we were all given a barrel full of shit and honey at the beginning of our lives and were told to eat it all, once it's done, our life ends.

Some went with the obvious, peeled through the shit, ate all the honey and are now left with the shit to finish for the rest of their lives, for example people who took the easy way back in their teens, flunking college, living on women (or guys), drugs and liquor.

Some went with the more conservative approach of taking all the shit when they were younger to get all the honey when they grow older, for example people who had long nights working on their projects or jobs, postponing their own leisure time for later on.

Then there were those who went hand in hand on both ways, or took different stages, eating through the shit for long times then re-surfacing for some honey every once in a while, to help them carry on.

I know I've adopted the third approach, atleast for the last 6 years, it's worked for me, I look around me and I see people of all approaches.

To them I say, your choices, your lives, some may think they deserve better, some may look back and regret, some may be content with their current lives as they are.

But are you really happy with what you've done so far, do you have something to look forward to?

If you've wasted so much time immersed in shit, but you have something to look forward to, some light at the end of the tunnel, you're on the right track.

If you've enjoyed your life earlier but are suffering now, well, you took a downpayment, perhaps it's time to settle your bills.

If you've always been about taking shit, and still haven't found a purpose for life, then perhaps it's time you went looking for one.
