I fail to comprehend humanity sometimes. I fail, even having been there myself, to understand why people hold on to anger, bitterness, vitriol and misery, like a drowning man clinging to a life preserver. It's unnecessary, and completely counter-productive. It takes more energy to remain this way than it does to let it go and get past something. Life is not going to always be a smooth ride on the rosy-coloured ocean of utopian perfection, but you don't have to make it harder than it has to be. As a wise person once said: Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
