"with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. be cheerful. strive to be happy." ~the Desiderata
not to be trite, but...i like to think life is what you make of it. if you try and see the good in it, you'll find some. if you focus on the bad, then life will seem a lot worse than it actually is. ^_^* (it's easy, tempting [and really unproductive] to wallow in our unhappiness over the injustices we feel life has tossed at us.) far better to revel in the more pleasant things life has to offer.
