Damn Bono - i read that and I basically felt I was reading my own life. I wish I had the ability to express myself with words as good as you do man. But as for Jslaughter's comments about the trip is worthwhile - in a round about way she's right. I have a different approach on it (deals with religion, astrology, fate, and crap like that) but I wont go into detail.

Just hold your head up high, keep smiling, and keep on going. Don't stop. Don't try any less. Don't give in. You keep going and you will get there, I promise.

I keep on going everyday. I push thru all the bad of each day, learning, growing, getting stronger physically and emotionally. I know one day things wont faze me as bad. Pain wont hurt as much. All negative emotions you will learn to control and they will not effect you nearly as much as they do now.

People would then ask me "Then that means you will Love less and feel Love less in return." This is false. You can't grow an emunity to something that your not exprosed to. Right now. Down these roads we are traveling, we are not being exposed to Love. But we are being exposed to Hate, and everything negative and painful. We will grow our emunities to these things, making the game of life alot less harder to live. And then when Love DOES come along, we will see it. We will feel its pleasure. We would taste it the way we'd never tasted it before. And it will be a great day. I promise you that. That will be the greatest day of your life. It is the day I keep pushing myself thru this hell to get to. There is light at the end of this tunnel. I know this. I have faith in it.

One day we will prevail and we will be able to give our all and feel no pain, but feel Love to its fullest potential.
