On learning life is hard
We aren’t born knowing this. Actually we try to dismiss this important bit of information for as much as possible. We grow old and are seen by our parents year after year doing things exactly the opposite way they would do it them. The difference between parents and children? They already know life is hard. They have told us time after time that life is hard, that there won’t ever be...

On overwhelming beauty
Isn’t everything beautiful? Am I wrong? I know it is an oh so used cliché, but, when you really think about it, and I mean really think about it, isn’t everything beautiful?

What is it with making lemonade if life gives you...
I think life would be plain boring if everybody actually did their best all the time. I think we would be really depressed if we did the best of every single thing that comes our way. I find it amusing how we are able to hope for the best when we don’t remotely have what it takes (resources, attitude, passion, whatever…) to make it, but when everything is served up for us we just lay...
