"You Earn Everything You Get", I don't know if this is a common saying or not, if not, then I'm making it up right now. It's basically the mantra I suppose I grew up on. Or maybe it's the lesson that stuck the most. If it is, then I'm glad that it's the one.
It holds true for the most part. Sometimes people don't get what they deserve, both good and bad, but I'd like to think that the whole "you reap what you sow" plays out. Where my saying differs, is that sometimes you don't reap what you sow. The weather, soil and other things play a major role. Luck and outside sources can play out very much according to that saying. I'd like to think otherwise, but perhaps that is my nature playing out in wanting to believe that A) I am in control of my own destiny and B) If you put enough effort into something, things are bound to work out.
But as time has gone on, I've come to the realization that luck (and politics) tend to play a much larger part in life than I was led to believe.
I suppose that's what it all comes down to.
Maybe things aren't bound to work out. But if that's the case, then why even try? At the end of it all, you don't get anything if you don't try. I guess you have to have some amount of faith.
Maybe that's my problem.
