and yet more...

Actually, on a non-God level this is all fairly common sense. whilst recognising the difficulties and the pain and not turning a blind eye to that, and certianly, not trying to minimise that in the life of others either, there are only 2 ways we can go through life.

I certinalky don't want to spend the next 50 years (if God keeps me here that long) dwelling on my pain and my hurt. It is common sense to see that is destructive. There's a real assesmment of pain, and, similarly, not being realistic is destructive, but wallowing and not activily seeking the positive is a waste of energy and a waste of life. There are 2 ways of looking at life.

To coin an equally trite saying as the last, in verse:

'two men looked out through the same bars
one saw the mud
one saw the stars'
