Life makes fools of us all sooner or later. But keep your sense of humor and you'll at least be able to take your humiliations with some measure of grace. In the end, you know, it's our own expectations that crush us." -- from Skippy Dies

Life makes fools of us all sooner or later. But keep your sense of humor and you'll at least be able to take your humiliations with some measure of grace. In the end, you know, it's our own expectations that crush us." -- from Skippy Dies The world is filled with pain and suffering. We all experience loss and we all experience sadness and heartbreak.

However, we should not allow these things to destroy our hopes and dreams for the future. True happiness is not found in the pursuit of the perfect body or perfect home or perfect family life, but in living life to its fullest every day. As long as we are still here on this earth we should make the most out of each day.

We should enjoy every moment and appreciate all the little things because someday they will become big things and vice versa.
