Life offers many directions for us to take. Which direction we choose to go is not any better than any other direction. It is just different, that's all.
We are at a point in our life where we make decisions that will decide whether we are the CEO of a big company, or the guy on the back of a garbage truck. And not one of those careers is any better than the other. Life has a pro and a con everywhere you look. With being a CEO, the pro is a lot of money, and the con is a lot of stress. With the waste management specialist, the pro is being able to come home to your small house with your wife and young children and know that you put in a hard days work to put food on the table for them, the con, life doesn't offer many perks to you. One thing I notice about society is that people with no money are far happier than the people with money. The poor realize how much life can kick you in the ass. So they are more appreciative of what they have in life. I can honestly say right now that the look on a homeless man's face, after I go to McDonald's and buy a Big Mac for him, is worth everything to me.

There was once a man walking in the desert. He was getting close to a village and was anxious to buy a glass of water from a merchant, as he was nearly dehydrated. The man had only one dollar on him to purchase this glass of water. As he got into the village he was approached by a poor-man with his young child at his side. The poor-man asked the traveler if he could spare a dollar so he and his child could eat that night. The traveler graciously gave the poor-man his dollar, and walked on through the village without even thinking about water. Surely isn't the look of joy on another man's face enough to quench the thirst of any man?

Guys, I realize we are just Kids. But, don't let life tangle you up with the concrete materials that we long for. If life wants you to be a garbage collector, you will be one. Sometimes it's the garbage collectors who have a better grasp on life than the richest businessman out there.

Thank you, and goodnight.
