It's been a good life....

Yesterday, apparently a young airman who was going through some problems at work brought a pistol into his work and was hold up in that building for hours.

Life is tough.  Things don't work out as planned, people let you down.  Things don't turn out as expected.  Still let's take each life event with a grain of salt.

We can't take this world too seriously.  We'll never get out of this place alive anyway.

So, let's do our best.  If we trip and stumble, so what?  Won't be the first time.  It won't be the last and maybe if we try just one more time, maybe if we show up for work today and give our best, maybe we will get that promotion.  Maybe things will work out as planned or even better.

I don't know what happened to that young airman.  When I left, the building he was in was surrounded by the flashing lights of cop cars too numerous to bother to count.

This world is no place to go crazy.  It is already a crazy place.

Inside each of us is the potential person capable of despicable acts.  That is not news.  The news is how do you  find the greater good?  How do you control yourself even in the most difficult situations?

We all have good reasons for going crazy and doing stupid things.  But really, maybe there is a greater reason is to live that second of life longer to help this wounded world become somehow a little better.

It has been a good life.

It didn't turn out as planned.

In the end it was even better.

But that middle part, man, what a roller coaster!!
