   Huh...
Felt kinda weird today at school.

Danny over there has a cold and now I've realized that he's the only person I stand next to the whole day, if not, nobody at all.

A certain void persided over the day like what you feel after a fellow comrade has fallen.

But he's just sick (even though I don't know of it's intensity. He never complains of any discomfort).

Such an uplifting feeling when I read that humorous post of his today, how such a seemingly carefree attitude has been taken in midst of sickness.

He once told me that the first step towards disappointment was hope. If that's true, I wouldn't care anyway.

A person with enough spirit could get up as many times as it takes to attain happiness. Suicide is merely a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I can't think of anything that inspires as much hope as another person's resilience in the face of adversity.....of the amazing demonstration of strength a person truly holds within them in the face of great strife.

You, the children charged to inherit this Earth. In your hands may you turn it into a heaven or hell for others. But for yourself, that choice resides in how much you will risk for happiness, how hard you will fight for it, and how you will perceive fortune or misfortune.

Why sit in guilt and use it as an excuse for inaction? Why wallow in depression, in an endless act of self-torture, merely because it seems safer than getting up and trying again?

Do not allow life to be too strong for you.

You, the inheritor of the Earth, must have the foresight to keep it beautiful for our children, and still secure happiness for ourselves.

It takes life to love life.
