You, in a vat of boiling oil

So they bash you and call you stupid. Broke the heart you held on your sleeve so proudly, tricked and deceived you until you doubted reality and any way you could succeed. Do you stay or do you go now?

The most damaging and dangerous of situations are what bring out our truest personalities. Eventually everyone must face these tests or go through life lying to themselves about who they, presumptions and fears backing the person they tell themselves or everybody else is standing in their shoes. Only once you push yourself through madness and hell can you truly say you know who you are. Without those tests there is much to be answered and assumed. This is all important to keep in mind when chaos comes your way. And, never panic, but also freak the fuck out once in a while; otherwise you have farther to go.

Enjoying the chaos is one of the most serendipitous of surreal tweaks on perceptions. It comes clear logical when you realize, this is extreme and therefore a good story and hey, you’re in the middle of it! Getting over the emotional digress and ego retreat or expectational gap takes a deep breath and some maturity. You are allowed to enjoy hell. A person can laugh at their pain and their problems, making them muses rather than torture devices. It is a change of perspective with a followed focused behavior. One must look at what they value instead of what an immediate stimulus feels best. This great pain is really the best proof that you’re alive. Incredible and horrible trials are the highest test a person can be put through the same way only someone gets to take an exit exam for their engineering degree. You’re that important that you can now fight the bigger boss.

Seeing the hardest problems as tests of a personality, as a gift makes you in control and the cause of your destiny instead of a victim. Both are right but one perspective has a stronger person with a storyline of excitement and overcoming evil instead of enduring pain and horrible emotional tempests. This next horrible thing is just a test of your highest self. Maybe you need to change but you can overcome and it can’t take anything real from you. Break your legs, empty your bank account, make you single, sure. But your values can’t leave unless they’re vapid or if you give up on them. Take your true riches into account and walk the walk that makes them shine best on the highest of tests.
