Flush it

A life without risk is no life at all.
One learns to stand from having to fall.
Hurt leads to healing,before walking we crawl.
Get up off your ass and stop crying.

He who says little often says the most.
Those that do least are the first to boast.
While ones busy taking don’t complain of the host.
Everybody gets tired of trying,
So get up off your ass and stop crying.

In that great bowl of life,
No need to be an asswipe,
Just reach for the handle and flush it.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

I've always regretted those moments I've "whined". We have better ways to spend our time, for example, the risk of friendship. There is wisdom here. Thanks for sharing. Bob

Ray, you've done some serious pondering while taking care of business.
Well done, friend! I especially liked that line about those who brag.
Peace.
