Wouldn't life get tedious and unrewarding if everything was so simple it was just handed to us?
I wouldn't know, none of us would...we don't live such a life - that's why we're forced to imagine one in a fairy otherworld. I mean, poersonally, imma take people at their word for that...and we very much seem to want things handed to us, if at all possible. Speaking of, can I borrow five bucks?

Ish.  It may be that getting kicked in the dick by some random asshole defined the rest of one John Q Randos life - but if he hadn;t been kicked in the dick, something else likely would have.  

Quote:That's why an eternal paradise is such an unattractive prospect. Even if you want to narrow the scope of adversity like that, I don't think it would do a person any good. Minimize it, sure, but don't eliminate it altogether.
It's the eternity part that makes paradise unattractive, not the paradise part.  I take little trips to paradise on a near constant basis.  Wink
