I feel that this is a quote about perspective and how people choose to view the world. Some people choose to take everything and try to find a little good in it... others simply see it as a nuisance. This is a great metaphor and it's one I've never heard before, so I'd LIKE to try to expand on it. I've got a 30 minute car trip ahead of me, so let's see how I do!
At the same time... I feel like the quote doesn't need much explaining. As long as you know how to actually think and use metaphors.... there's not much to say. It's a view on life; plain and simple. Perhaps I should elaborate; yes? Okay. Some people choose to take a bad situation, and leave it bad. Some people even choose to take GOOD situations and make them shitty! These are the pessimists, the people who would rather take only the negative approach to things and just have completely horrible days. Then, there are the people who can take literally ANY situation and make something good of it. These people are optimists, who try to look on the bright side of everything and find some good in everything. While I find both pessimism and optimism interesting, I myself am more of a realist. I don't see things one way or another, just as they are. However, I do like to think that if I had to choose, I'd be more optimistic... I certainly don't see horrible things as a nuisance, just as another lesson to be learned at a minimum. What's your opinion? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Let me know. - Maddie
