No matter how many things get tossed your way, in the end do they really matter? Life is hard, life is rough, life isn't fair. Yes, we could dwell on those things. We could look at the hardness and darkness around us and let it consume us. We could have a cynical attitude and be justified in it. But why would you want to live your life that way? Why would you choose to look at life with that perspective? There may be some that will tell me that I am trying to ignore the fact of the reality of life. No, I understand it all very well. I am not ignorant of the evil around me and the dismal state of the nations. But I know what is coming, I know that there is life. I know that If you choose to find the beauty that you will find it. I choose to see the good triumph over evil. I choose to see the dawn after the darkness. I choose to see the beauty in the ashes. I choose life.
