For no reason. It just sucks, sucks, sucks. Learning from it is gravy, but while you&#39;re in it, all you can do is keep your head down and keep keepin&#39; on. Good luck.Amber Page Writeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03288534853490787988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-34070336075351639842009-11-10T10:40:59.560-05:002009-11-10T10:40:59.560-05:00Deep thoughts today, Tiffany. That is a great question. I don&#39;t know the answer though. And I&#39;m not sure if there is a lesson to be learned from our struggles. Maybe life is just an endurance test? I hope not but sometimes it seems that way.kyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10612857982151448455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-16408021175555092542009-11-10T09:29:51.394-05:002009-11-10T09:29:51.394-05:00I used to believe &quot;everything happens for a reason&quot; but not so much anymore. I guess years and years later if you really look for that to be true, you can make it so. I just don&#39;t feel like it works for me.<br />I am a day by day person. I do my best everyday with whatever situatuation is at hand. Eventually it will get better and easier. Baby steps. <br />Also I do believe in Karma, so I just let her do my dirty work b/c that stuff can be time cinsuming menatally and physically. <br />I think the pessimist mostly comes after the struggle. People are different though. So I think that is an individual response.<br />8 years ago I was not a pessimist in the least. Now I see everything as negative as possible and work my way up from there. I have truly been shaped by hard times. I am ultimately a happy person though in my everyday life because I refuse to let my struggles dictate my smile.jadedperspectivehttp://jadedperspective.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-89891503974195996582009-11-10T09:24:00.649-05:002009-11-10T09:24:00.649-05:00I&#39;ll admit that I&#39;m not one to see the purpose in the struggle, in fact I&#39;m not even very good at looking back and figuring out what I learned after the fact. I&#39;m a wallower. That said, I believe our struggles makes us stronger, that they do equip us with perspective deep down inside that hopefully makes the next struggle just a bit easier.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13794568126280605188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749395808501322115.post-24518347354957546622009-11-10T08:22:54.152-05:002009-11-10T08:22:54.152-05:00And finally, my friends, what comes first....the struggle? Or the pessimist?<br /><br />Wow...what an evoactive question. I guess it depends on the specific incident, but I can definitely see either coming first!Tanyiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09224929508541591849noreply@blogger.com
