Agreed, gneiss. It's all about attitude. And I believe I have a choice in what my attitude is about Life. Stuff happens, it's not necessarily an evil or a good thing. But it is a chance to grow personally.
I choose to not be miserable. I choose not to filled with anger. I choose to find things that amuse me in a positive way. I choose to walk on the roses and not on the thorns.
And it took a long time to figure out I had that Free Will.
Hormones, aside, of course!
Love,
Lenina
