love.

Life can be hilarious at times. And at others it can be quite sad. And if your life is full of ridiculous contrasts and oxy morons, life can be hilariously sad.

Imagine the saddest moment you ever lived through, the most desperate moment, the most intense moment, the most angry you’ve ever been, the most frustrated, the most embarrassed, the most scared, the most agitated, hungry, tired, and irritated. And then imagine that every single day of your life, this is the feeling that you wake up with. It definitely makes for an incredibly sorrowful existence. So if this is every single day of your life, if you’re forced to get out of bed feeling like this, and encounter the world feeling like this, it can be imagined that life would be incredibly difficult. Moreover, due to the immense difficulty of that which is your life, it can be imagined that you would look for things to make it more bearable. Food, gardening, art, movies, dance, music, books, sex, weed, alcohol, cocaine. Whatever gets you through the day. But many things that offset the desperate sorrow of life, easily lead to self-destruction. Hence, the importance of love.

We will all inevitably encounter much negativity in our lives. Many times, we will let it affect us, because it is so much easier to hear the good rather than the bad. Negativity and meanness is so much easier to feed into. Thus again, the importance of love. We need to love each other. And we need to let people know it. People need to be thanked and praised for their good works. And people need to feel that people care about them. That way, everyone can have much more fun together, and we will all have more hilarious days, rather than sad.
