Location: closely held secret | A lot of ordinary and boring things are good, like air to breath and water to drink. Just because we take them for granted doesn't diminish their goodness.
...unless of course, by 'good' you only refer to what makes you feel good, which is totally subjective. And I'm sure all of you are way too sophisticated to be that shallow. |

Something along the lines of "Dust in the Wind"

Remember what Kipling said:
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same ... then you are man, my son.
[edit]
I guess when I wrote this I was thinking about the other post about marriages breaking up, but it's true. |
