When it comes down to it, we are simply not always prepared for what “life” throws at us. And sometimes it’s not always life that’s pitching anyways. What I mean is this: often times people are the ones surprising us–in good ways, yet often bad. I don’t expect my friend was prepared to “do some business” and find his t.p. replaced with a lovely roll of duck tape. OUCH. At this point he has one of two choices

1. Get mad

2. Laugh.

Knowing the kind of person he is, he laughed. I wish we did this more often. People are going to fail us, hurt us, disappoint us—it’s inevitable. But how we react is always up to us.
