Life

I am writing this post with great difficulty as it is hard to put my emotion into words. We sometimes don't really realize how lucky we are - to be alive, to be walking, talking and breathing normally. Today, sat in on an interview for a potential student who wants to study at South Seas and to say that the interview was ,internally, heart breaking would be an understatement. The person who came in for the interview is extremely talented, has a superb visual eye for composition and wants to specialize in camera but he had a horrible accident nine years back {for no fault of his} and now everyday is a challenge for him - can't reveal anything more than that but have to say that it was heart breaking seeing that person fight his way through life - quietly but firmly. It just opened up my eyes to how fragile life really is and life isn't fair at all. It is not fair.

And as I think on how to end this post - i just went into a 10 minute contemplation session. That's how you can describe me whenever I think of today's interview - thinking, questioning, doubting..... Why?????????

My friend Jordan works at the state hospital in the mentally ill ward. Most of the patients who are mentally ill were abused as children and have had terrible lives. I remember him saying the same thing about life is not fair.
Maybe nothing's fair or fairness is only an illusion. Things can always get worse so I guesss you've just got to be thankful for what you have.
