You just dont know!
Is having control over your own life and destiny important to you? Should we all feel free to have a voice and opinion.? Or do we take these simple freedom things for granted.
I have always been a believer that you make your own destiny. Having a positive outlook and a can do mindset tends to help. I dont expect things to be easy, and I will climb most walls put in front of me, each time learning to climb the next one with more speed and strength.
I dont believe our cards are pre delt. I believe in choice. Some decisions are good. Some are bad. But when the bad decisions stand on the wall and throws stones at you as you try to climb, staying positive can be hard. Choices become limited. Skys become dark.
I have always said to people they can take control of their own lifes. Thats all they need to worry about. Outside that is noise. If things are going shit, change them. Ignore what's outside of your control. Ignore what you can not impact or change and focus on what makes you happy. Easy right??
But..
"In darkness there is no choice"
Imagine being in an oppressive situation. Millions in the world are. Every wall has barbwire and there is someone throwing bloders even before you get to the wall. You get up to be knocked right back down. Do you continue to climb the wall when both your arms are broken??
Oppressive governments are one thing, but remember, you dont know what goes on behind closed doors. Be kind. Be understanding. Be tolerant. Because you just never know.
Value your freedom. Value your right to choice. Value your right to climb that wall if you choose too and climb it quick without looking back. Because you just never know who the fucks going to start throwing stones.

Once as a kid, i threw a stone and ended up in hospital. Somehow the sneaky bastard curved around, came back and cut my leg open.
Took that stone and smashed it. :)
Lol, I like to smash down walls. But this time I think I fractured my scull trying.

Good reminder to appreciate the freedoms we have and the choices! Some times we need little eye openers so we can see the opportunities, and in one of my favorite movies with Robin williams -
It’s nice to have a feeling of forward momentum in life. It is also crazy that amount of opportunities out there in the world. You never quite know what ends up leading to the path of successes.
If people start tossing stones you start selling the stones!
I think we’re all placed in varying degrees of agony and while we do try to compare everyone struggle is unique to them and to them they feel it’s as hard as someone else’s!
Overcoming that agony is life’s biggest mystery and pushing past it is life’s biggest reward! You don’t need to know exactly where you’ll end up you just have to know you want better for yourself and to go after it, however you see is it and do it unrelentingly
If you do the universe slowly starts to shape itself and bend to your will
