Sometimes your normal life can abandon you. Dedicated employees get fired, houses burn, non-smokers get lung cancer, vegetarians get attacked by dogs (and sometimes choke on carrots); dreams turn into nightmares, 4 bedroom, 3 bath houses, to ashes. The possessions and relationships around us—no matter how ‘stable’ and ‘permanent’, are anything but. Yes, there are some who sleep well at night and wake up feeling fresh as rosebuds. Fate may smile on these people who rest content, on those who are satisfied, on those who will never fracture their skull dancing at a wedding or unintentionally fart during an interview or have a lotto machine crush their leg while helping an old lady buy a winning Powerball ticket. Despite the odds, there are cheerful assholes out there who may just live their entire life without experiencing unfairness. Or perhaps fate is merely lying in wait until one day, to all of our surprise, their world comes crashing down when they find out their daughter is a much adored internet porn star in Iceland, Greece and Cambodia—and has been since the 8th grade--thanks to the MacBook she got for Christmas and its built-in webcam.
What I’m trying to say is what we have and who we have can always be taken away. The ONLY thing we have that’s permanent (somewhat) is who we are. As long as we're alive and not insane, we are all we can be sure we have.
