Adversity

I am sick and tired of asswipes who have had everything handed them to on a silver platter blathering on and on about "adversity" and overcoming it.

These lame individuals feel that adversity is when they can't get a their double latte with chocolate in it in less than 10 minutes, and they always have some pseudo-scientific babble they ripped off some self-help or success guru to try to beef up their incoherent ramblings.

Who knows how to overcome adversity? You need to go no further than your nearest hospital and enter the children's areas. See those sick, sometimes terminall ill kids comfort their grieving parents and relatives, and being cheerful enough to make their nurses and doctors smile.

Kids are so resilient and positive. My own son Conner has had to overcome too much adversity in his short life. All I can do is watch him handle it and be humbled. Conner, buddy, you'll probably never read this but I am very proud of you and I want to congratulate you on your attitude and how you've kept coming back after all this crap that's happened.

We could all take a lesson from how kids handle this stuff: Roll with the punches, then go play.
