Reflections in an Abrasive State

In life we learn that sometimes things don't turn out the way we want them to. That the people we meet and let into our lives aren;t always so genuine. That behind every smile and laugh lies a serpentine motivation. That not matter how hard you try it sometimes isn;t enough. That being the strongest person means being the weakest person. That lending someone your shoulder is not always appreciated. That two-way streets are often one-way roads. That even when they say they do, they don;t. That sometimes life isn;t always that bad. That somewhere there is hope. That the strength comes from within, not others. That sometimes the only person you can rely on is yourself. That optimism is another word for delusional. That allowing someone to hurt you is another way of being able to feel. That sometimes jokes can hurt. That sometimes you don;t know any better. That sometimes you are wrong. That you have to step back and take a look at all of it and realize that sometimes it is just plainly futile. That no matter what you do, life is what it is going to be, and you are just temporarily paying a visit. That you have to shit, or get off the pot. That whining won;t get you nowhere, and neither will posturing. That it is possible to care too much, but not enough. That nothing is ever reciprocated the way you want it to. And that when everything is said and done, and you die....that none of this will ever make a difference. So then why bother......ay, there;s the rub.
