Testing...Testing...one two three...Testing

Occasionally I come across lyrics that are actually useful...sometimes in unusual places-like trendy teen pop music. I bumped into a meaningful bit (or at least I liked the catchy way she communicated the logic) in an Avril Lavigne song..."why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated. Life's like this: you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty..."

This I find is one of those lovely little saying applicable to so many situations: political, relationships, hell-even cooking...(that was directed at my Martha Stewart cookbook-why Do you have to make things so complicated Martha?)

If more people would realize-life is like this. You fall (we all make mistakes) you crawl (deal with consequences of actions) you break (be a human being...it is what you are) you take what you get and you turn it into honesty (make the genuine effort to be a responsible individual)...

use reason, judgement, sound logic....life is not fair-ask why, then make it better, if you can't-offer comfort to those that need it.

This life we have right now is not a test run.  Life is not fair...it just Is. And what it Is needs to become more of a conscious group effort.  So come alive! Look at your neighbor-realize its not just one person...or one small group of people on this planet. We're asses to elbows folks.
