Guess what, some peoples over all life is not. Sometimes its horrible and there is no reason to be happy. Sure they have their ups, but over all its crap. I hate it when people who have great lives talk about how great life is, and in their ignorance forget that some people really dont have any good in their life. Im not talking about me, I have good in my life, but some dont. So we cant talk for them “I base my happiness on the permanent, rather than the transient”-That is assuming that your over all life is great. Guess what, some peoples over all life is not.

I know that as much as it hurts right now that this is just a lesson in my life and that I will come through it a little better than I was. It hurts right now but in the end I will be OK and things will work out in the end. I read your blogs all the time and take the best of each message and try to apply it in my own life.

The trick is to break the obsession with cheese and make your own cheese. And only think about cheese when you are eating it or making it.
