"He crawled out of the window"

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman was so shocked by a spider crawling across her face that she lost control of her car and crashed head on into a roadside tree, police in the western town of Rheine said on Thursday.

The 23-year-old woman screamed and let go of the steering wheel, causing her small car to veer off the road into the tree. The car was totally destroyed but the woman escaped with only slight injuries, a police spokesman said.

"She was shocked by the spider crawling on her face and lost control of her car," said the spokesman for the police in the small town near the Dutch border. The spider survived, he said.

Circles

Some people like to think of life as a cirlce, where it begins at one point, and we finally rest (not die la, just be at peace) when the circle is completed and our agenda can become memoir.

When we were babies, waking every morning marks a brand new day. Our agenda was to be happy, and to do that, we simply did what we liked.

As we grow older, it gets harder. To fulfil our main agenda of being happy, I mean.

Our needs and wants grow. We need material things. We need attention from people other than our families. We need acheivements. Gratification.

We start to have to make other people happy to be happy. Expectations fall on our shoulders. Responsibilities become priority.

In all that, our agenda list becomes longer, and soon, Happy either falls down the list, or gets confused and lost amongst the other items on the agenda.

Life indeed is a circle. But it does not begin in one point and move in a one track manner in a circle to complete it. You start in the middle, and then you're on your own. But there are always edges, i.e. family and people you love, who keep it real and make sure you don't fall off your circle.

Keep your circle together!

This post is so mushymushy. Anyways, I have added blogroll links after I saw my site on blogshares, and thought it quite interesting the list of people who link me.

And on another totally unrelated note, this comment insulted my post:

"Life is like a box of chocolates

"you'd never know what you're gonna get"

Well then life can be like many things, can't it.

That's what I thought when I first heard this line in Forrest Gump.

It could be the huge, nicely wrapped gift at the foot of the christmas tree. Or maybe, it could even be like dishes on the table that was cooked and covered up with a "table-umbrella".

Or, I could pick up a random piece of crap, wrap it with a newspaper, hold it up to you, and say

"Life is just like a piece of crap. You'd never know what you're gonna get."

Why not you?

How often do we hear, "Why me?"

How often do you think or whine "Why me?"

I think there is an answer to that, after all.

"Why not you?"

The choices, miniscule and "life-altering", that we make in the course of carrying on our lives can have all kinds of repercussions in our future. There's no telling what are the full consequences waiting in store for you in the years to come.

You can't decide what is fair, and what is not.

You can only make the best of it, face the music and be careful when you make the rest of your choices.
