looking at stars from the gutter

Life is hard. 

We’re all either in the gutter, have been in the gutter, or will be in the gutter.  

Tragedy strikes.  We don’t find the answers we’re looking for. Often, we don’t find answers at all.   

But even in the gutter, amidst the worst times, we still get to choose where we are looking to. 

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” -Oscar Wilde
