Life's full of surprises

Life's full of surprises, no doubt about it.

One moment it can bring you into the most euphoric of moods, drifting you upon the clouds of floating dizziness. The next moment, it throws a curved ball with a plunging parabolic motion so sudden and angled that you don't even know how to react. And somehow that feeling of being punched repeatedly in the gut won't subside.

What can we do about it? Try our best and cope. Grit our teeth and get through life as best as we can manage. Keep our eyes and mind fully occupied with productive stuff. Never let the mind idle, because it might just self-destruct and swallow itself.

Like they say, the brain is an idle monkey.
