never a bed of roses

I can't recite lengthy bible verses smoothly or decipher them the way sunday school teachers do. But till this day there are principles i hold close to heart. I know it's pointless to pray to God just hoping something good, anything good, will befall upon me. You work for it. You take action, you know? Ever wondered why people always say 'do your best and let God do the rest', instead of 'sit down relax and let God do it all'? I admit i have the hell of a temper. Awful, fiery one. Enough to scare people who don't know me out of their wits. But i'm learning to control it, to at least hold it back in sticky situations. Mom yells at me for no reason; I shut up and watch Russell Peters. Everyone has his/her own "skyscrapper of shit" hovering above their heads, but hey you have two options: Throw your temper and get angrier as more shit befalls upon you, or do something to hold up that chunk so that you don't get buried in it. Simple as that. It's so easy to find reasons to be angry, so much tougher to find reasons not to. Oh and mind you, i said 'reasons not to be angry'-- i'm not even at the part that says 'reasons to be happy' yet.

Who ever said that life is a bed of roses?
