My Philosophy

My philosophy is basically there is a reason for everything.  Whether it's good or bad, it happens because of something else.  Everything that happens and will happen is meant to happen for our benefit.  It may not be a physical benefit, perhaps a psychological benefit, or to help you benefit others.  Most of the time, things you want won't fall into your lap though.  It takes work, and eventually, that work will pay off.  You can't wait for somebody else to do whatever it is for you, you must take initiative.  If something bad happens, then it happened to teach a lesson, and you must work to fix whatever may have happened, or you must move on.  A wise man once said, "Nothing happens by accident.  Coincidences are a lie."  We must accept this and learn to live on, roll with the punches.  "It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit" -- Rocky Balboa.  I apply this philosophy to life.  You can't control the universe. The universe controls you, and we must take the hit.  In other words, to be terse I'm trying to say to keep on keepin' on.

Pool Party

The arbiter sent him to jail.  This was not an impromptu crime.  The prodigious levees that protect the Missouri lowlands on this particular day were not large enough to hold back the flood.  The pragmatic solution to this problem is to stack sandbags until the barrier is repleted with structure.  Some water usually permeates through the sandbags, but not enough to flood a state.  However Mr. Scott sabotaged the copious barrier by removing the sandbags, allowing the water to burgeon throughout capacious the Missouri lowlands.  The candor Scott said "I only wanted to have a pool party."
