Dumb and irritating. But interesting and lovely sometimes.
Like a test.
Just like a test.
Living the lifestyle I have right now, I have plenty of time to think about my relatively short, probably miserable life. I get to think about just how neat and delicate it is to have a body that works properly. One little thing could mess with everything. The body itself is a system of systems and, if one part of one system fails, it could have intense repercussions for other systems.
I get to think about the very permanent, very far-reaching consequences our choices and actions have on ourselves and others. I get to be frustrated about the injustices and joyous about the victories - even and especially the small ones. I see how dumb grudges, fights, and hard feelings are. I see how miraculous childbirth is and how magnificent death can be. I get to realize growth and progress through the fires of adversity. I appreciate and envy when someone enjoys what they do for a living.
It's frustrating, taxing, often rewarding, and definitely eye-opening. How is this not a test?
