But, leaving aside shit that is generated by the randomness that is this universe, there is shit that happens to you for a reason. I dont mean The Alchemist type reasons, the universe is trying to send you a message crap, i
Sometimes i find myself in such a hurry to move on that i fail to differentiate between random shit and causal shit. I rationalize, i look for excuses, i find them, i move on. Once i've convinced myself there is nothing i could have done, its all pretty simple. A shrug and its done.

POst-appraisal wisdom/serenity, eh? ;)
:) Didnt realize the cause-and-effect was so universally recognizable. Its always been such a non-event for me.
I first read it as 'shift happens' and was wondering whether it is arithmetic or logical..
anyway.. I liked the post..
:D Do you have one of those filters in your head that they use for subtitles in english movie channels? That convert "offensive" words to less offensive ones. Only, your seem to convert them to mathematical ones!
Thanks :)
Shit happens! Now flush it off or it will just make the whole ecosystem of your life stink :)
Wise advice :)

Yeah. The best you can do is make something good out of it. But sometimes, shit is just shit.
