Occasionally bad.

I just felt you all needed to know, that I found some emotion tonight.

We talked bout our views on the world.

And we talked about good and bad.

I said, I believe there is no such thing as a good person, just people who have a choice.

Good?

Or bad?

Now my friend says everyone is always going to choose bad, because it's easier.

And he is right.

It is easier.

But I told him, I know way too many people who prove to me everyday that our human nature is capable of goodness.

But I also know that those same people make bad decisions everyday.

So, what's the point?

What is the point, of choosing good if we are just going to continue choosing bad?

I don't have a solid answer for you.

At least not one that makes sense to the world.

But I do know this...

We are who we are.

Good or bad choices of our past, they do not define us.

What does define us, is the way we live in the present.

Are we making the most of our circumstance?

Are we making other people feel empowered or enslaved?

Are you stopping to smell the roses?

Are you creating life instead of consuming it?

Whether you believe we are inherently good or inherently bad...

...whether you believe everything happens for a reason, or that life is just chaos...

...whether you believe in a night out partying, or a night in with Disney movies...(yea, I'm looking at you Phil!)

...whether you believe in a Devine presence or not...we have a responsibility in this life to seize the day.
