A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr; Towne v. Eisner, 1918
----------------------------------
Nothing in life is fair.
You can never get everything you want. You should not want what you know you can't have. You cannot solve your problems by merely wishing them away. Even when you get what you wish for, you should always be careful. This is because your wish may not come out the way you want it to come out.
If only people understood that principle. Life would be so much eaiser for everyone. Of course, I guess wishing for something that great would be too much to ask for, because you know people will keep doing it anyways.
There are a lot of things that I wish for. There are things that I want to do that I know I cannot do. There are moments that I know I cannot experience. There are places and people I will never visit. Such is my life. My life and my duty never, ever changes. Others will realize their dreams. I will not.
Someone once said that all our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them, but then that must mean that I have the courage of a fried chicken leg. No. That person knows nothing of helplessness. They are not bound by duty. They are not me.
But when I think about it, I suppose that it is all right with me. I think it is probably better that I am as I am. I do not want to think of the things that could happen if there was a change to my life, a change to my being. I am comfortable with myself.
For now, I can only stay where I am, and merely think of what would be. I can only imagine...what I could be...what I...could have...
