Brave New World

"...I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

Just an interesting quote that I read from the book Brave New World. The character who made the statement was frustrated with the people in the Utopia that he lived it. They had elimated all things painful, difficult, or challenging from society so they wouldn't have to deal with it.

Too often we complain about the difficulties in life, but we fail to see the importance of the difficulties...we just want to get rid of them. Trials and tribulations make you who you are, allow them to shape you.

Carpe Diem!
