Slowly Going Bald

You live with the cancer you have, not the disease you wish you had.

You come home from Iraq with the unemployable disabilities you have, not the arms and legs you wish you had.

You tell your kids to live with the public school they have, not the school they wish they had.

You live with the president you have, not the president you wish you had.

You live with the poor medical insurance you have, not the insurance you wish you had.

You live on the reservation you have, not the sacred lands you wish you had.

You live with the intolerance you have, not the tolerance you wish you had.

You live with the sadness you have, not the happiness you wish you had.

Hey, s*** happens.
