Flash Drives and my Death Bed

Today I had a relatively good day. Until twenty minutes ago that is. I got a call from the bank that was not to my liking, I lost my flash drive, and I can't seem to find my butterfly ring ANYWHERE.

 I decided to visit my blog reading list as I can only wait until tomorrow to solve some of the issues listed before. One of the blogs I follow is by James T. Robilotta and he posted about the "languages of love." Don't worry it isn't anything schmoozy. (Well, maybe a little.) When I read and watched the video, it made me think, were my issues that bad? In the end money or my ring weren't going to be important at my death bed. As people who have the privilege to have computers, we tend to freak out over these types of frivolous things. We call them "first world problems" and sometimes we say we are "struggle busing." Now, I am not going to say that you should feel guilty or bad because that isn't helping anyone's situation either. Instead, try to be positive and spread that good attitude around. I can hear your scoffs already. Seriously though, having a positive attitude can be hard.

 Last night I watched the movie A Clockwork Orange and I have to tell you, at first I was not a fan. If you aren't familiar with this film I will give you a brief synopsis. It is about a teenage boy named Alex who uses his free time to do what he loves. What does Alex love to do? Rape, kill, and beat others. I was going to stop watching the movie when something happened. This evil main character went to jail. After being in jail for two years he goes under treatment to "cure him of evil" and it works...to an extent. The treatment has made Alex unable to defend himself, which I was all for. I was glad when his former friends and his old enemies beat him up. I felt that justice was being done. It wasn't until the police scene that I went from hating this guy, to sort of pitying him. That was the point. This movie is based off of a book by the same title by Anthony Burgess.  He stated that the point of the book was to show that if we truly believe in "forgive and forget" then we should practice it with even the most evil of people. This brings me back to being positive in light of the terrible (or in my sarcastic font TeRrIbLe). When those bad little things happen to you or me, we blame, we get angry, we get frustrated and then we spread our bad attitudes to others. Much like Alex's situation. If he had chosen to be good and helpful, he would have experienced more positive events. Instead he promoted his evil doings, which almost destroyed him. Have you thought of all the good things that happened to you during a bad day and spread those around? For example, today I also got a ton of free clothes and jewelry from a friend. I also ate a pretty tasty supper AND I am halfway done with fixing a project. I was so quick to think that my day was bad simply because of a few issues. So let's keep it positive. Forgive and forget. Also, don't let the lost flash drives keep you down.
