…While others will learn to despise it. But I’d estimate that most people fall in the middle, loving some parts and despising others. It’s the summary of the human struggle.

The so-called experts on life say that your attitude is key in how you comprehend the environment around you… that a man can be happy in a room full of excrement if he simply believes he is happy. You know, mind over matter, like believing an invisible man in the sky governs your fate even if you’ve never seen or met him.

But is a positive attitude just fodder for the self-help feel-good lifestyle so many try to preach to the downtrodden? Is it just another way of getting someone to believe something that isn’t true just so they feel better about themselves? If I believe that working in a cubicle for 40 hours a week is really a pleasant experience, does that make me no brighter than the buzzing fluorescent light that hovers above me?

Don’t fall in love with life. Learn a healthy respect for it, and go after the things that you believe really matter to you. Go after them with a vengeance.
