I have had a lot of people tell me that life is what you make of it. Here are a number of the cliches that I have been told the past while: If you have a positive outlook, your life will be great with positive things & people. If things are not going well, you are just looking at things in the wrong way. Make lemonade out of lemons. If you're experiencing bad, you just have to think better. The glass is half full not half empty.
Perhaps those things are true, but when do we stop making everything rainbows and skittles and start looking at reality? I think that the people who think that they can change their bad things in to goo things by changing the way they look at these things or think about these things are simply and utterly delusional and in complete denial.
Shit happens. A lot. Let's be realistic about it and instead of covering it up with some odor neutralizing kitty litter of mind games, let's face the facts that no matter how much sweet smelling kitty litter is piled on it, at some point you have to get your hands close to dirty and scoop the poop.
