The Big Picture

I want to start this post off by saying Happy Family Day to everyone and a late Valentines as well. Anyway, this family day got me thinking. What would my life look like without the exact family I have? It made me realize that, even despite the rather annoying siblings, my life is perfect with the family I have, and the friends that go with it. And I am greatfull for this. And then you come to realize the big picture, how life is just like a big, big, BIG Tetras game. Every move you make at one point results in either some sort of failure or success a little ways down the road. So many little events and decisions contribute to a big outcome, which contribute to a bigger outcome, and so on and so forth. Growing up, for example. If you get raised in a house of violence, abuse, swearing, etc, you're life will be different then if you grow up in a calm, collected, peaceful household. One person will be aggressive, get into more fights, be a reckless person in general, whilst the other has a better chance of keeping a cool head and a controlled temper, to say. You have to surround yourself in the environment you want to be like. For me, that environment is the Kwoon and people that go with it.
