Suppose I could take life and hit it in my hands.
I could take all the people, and wrap them up in a blanket of my protection.
There would be no wars under my watch, no fighting, no discrimination. No bullying and no teasing. Name calling and stealing both frowned apon, and unable to happen.
Sound good to you?
Well not here.
For where is the excitement in peace? The Thrill? The change? WHERE?
Perfection is what we have now. It can get to be alot, and seem bad, put peace and no chaos?
Overrated?
Your choice.

The author's comments:
People say they want everything to be...peaceful. Perfect. I find that overrated. I find what we have to be perfect. More balanced, more worthwhile. Much more entertaining. As someone usually on the outside looking in, I can be sure to tell you problems are never truly what they seem to be if we use logical thinking, where as problems are really just things to spice life up, because for me, perfection is overrated.

I understand what you say and can agree and disagree. It all depends on your situation. Some are worse then others, making them more brutal ;D
