Life. This short time on Earth that we have. It throws us up, it throws us down, it gives us a ride then gives us away. We are slaves to life's whims...and life is sometimes very whimsical. It's those whimsical times that I look forward to.
Life loves to give us some times to laugh. It knows that it is way too hard on us, so it tries to lighten the mood every now and then. An inside joke between friends. That weird kid in the lunch room who sweats a ridiculous amount for no apparent reason. Unintentional slap stick comedic occurrences. Life loves to entertain us in between the trials and tribulations. These "quirks", if you will, make everything else worth it. For without the joy, the pain is unbearable.
"Life is pain...anyone who says differently is selling something." (Cary Elwes playing as Westly in The Princess Bride). This is more or less true, life is a series of sufferings and hard times. Life doesn't discriminate between rich and poor in its dealings with mortals. The tough times hit everyone...regardless of status.
But the quirks...the whimsical moments...the good times...the inside jokes...the weird people...everyone contributes to the whimsical-ness of life. It's a wonderfully quirky, and oppositely painful experience that we love.
And so we go.
