I was asked one time “what happens to you is your own fault”. I disagree with that statement because if you have no control over the thing that happens then it is not your fault. See I don’t think that people realize the difference between the things you can and can’t control. I believe that people are so worried about what going to happen next and I don’t blame them because not everything gives you a choice of what to do. 85% of the things that will happen will give you a choice. The rest of it doesn’t give you a choice at all.

I was abused and neglected as a child and I had no choice in what happened to me. When I hurt others, it’s not like they really have an option. If you had a choice, nothing but good would happen to you, right? Life doesn’t work that way in my opinion because I think life was meant to be hard. If life was easy then what would be the point there would be no difference between anyone really because most everyone would already know everything there is to know. Life is full of heartache, surprises, hard work, and glory. Once we realize that life is not our way and that we are wrong sometimes then life will go a lot easier. One more thing, in life you need to set priorities straight, see who your real friends are, and help those who need it no matter who they are.
