I find life to be as amusing and short-lived as a stone skipping across a pond. We do, of course, have our ups and downs, as does the stone, before sinking into that dark abyss. And like stones, each person differs in the way they skip through life. Some people succumb quickly and sink, while others may bounce back up and continue for quite a long while. What I do find strange, however, is the fact that as more stones sink, it is easier for future stones to go farther, as they merely bounce off of previous stones. And eventually, the whole body of water is filled with stones, which reflects how humans have a strange tendency... to support themselves on the fallen. The number of people who succeed is proportional to the number of those that fail. So for every success that comes to you in your life... remember someone fell to guarantee you that happiness.
