I read somewhere that all negative things start with the absence of something. You think of something that's negative, and you know it is because of a certain lack. We just can't get enough. Not enough love. Not enough money. Not enough food. Not enough opportunities. Not enough zest. Not enough fun. Not enough power. Not enough influence.

And i stop to think, is it really the absence of life or not enough love for life. Is it really the lack of great things to do or not enough joy for what's before us?

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. And yes, I read that somewhere. I read a lot and i can't get enough of it.
