It doesn't take much to tear someone's life apart: the death of someone loved, an addiction, a failure, a disaster...
Things happen all the time in this hectic and unfair life. Very often, these things are negative and somewhat destructive. However, they are too common for the intense effects they tend to have on most people. Not that I'm saying death and hurricanes aren't bad, they obviously are, I'm just saying we should be prepared for this kind of crap and not let it destroy our lives completely. Afterall, throughout the years, I think humans should be accustomed to the fact that, yes, all humans die and yes, disasters and other hardships occur.
Even small occurrences, like verbal beatings or bad grades, have the ability to gnaw at someone. As humans, we are capable of twisting the truth of events in our minds. We're able to make things seem so much worse than they truly are; and I wish that weren't the case.
Often, when something bad happens it's nearly impossible for people to look forward and see the brighter side of things. We dwell on stuff, let it fester in our minds. If only we had the ability to see things objectively and not let them destroy us.
I think the best remedy for this ridiculous hardship bestowed upon us is this: Don't take anything too seriously. I've heard this numerous times, but I tend to not abide by it. Like most other humans, I am easily troubled. However, considering this in times of hardship might help. People just have to remember to live and breathe and take things one step at a time.
