Because My Mom Told Me to Write

A good friend of mine wrote me an email, yesterday that asked the age or question: Why is life so unfair? Why, Gertrude, I don't know. Life is a shit storm. It will suck your guts out of every single orifice in your body, tie them into knots, blend them in a rusty old coffee grinder, mix them with sulpheric acid until they are the consistency of a YooHoo, before they pour them back into you...through every orifice available, of course.

This said-that's life. It happens to virtually all people. Thus, the question should not be "Why is life so unfair?" but "What can we do to make this unfair life a bit more bearable?" Do I like my life? Eh-it's ok, but there are a lot of aspects of my life that really piss me off. However, I might as well keep going and continue to try to find something that makes me happy. On the way, I might even help make someone else's life a little happier. That's what I am going to try to do.

My friend also has Lyme's Disease. A disease transmitted by a tiny tick that changes the health of your body forever. There is pain, fatigue, depression...This existence of this disease alone should be an answer to the question "Why is life so unfair?" It is random. If a tiny tick can change your life, why should you take anything seriously? You cannot control the shitty shit that happens to you, so why care so much about what other people think? Just live. Do what you want to do. Don't wait. Don't fear. Don't care.
