It's like those questions -
If God is almighty powerful, can he create a rock he can not lift?
How many angels can sit on the head of a pin?
People think they are trapped in a world they did not create because they had imagined things differently for themselves.
Nobody dreams of growing up and becoming a forklift driver down at the Coca-Cola Bottling company. Nobody dreams of growing up to be fat, ugly, alone, unloved, living vicariously in front of the TV with a microwaved dinner on a tray in their lap. Those are things that just happen while we wait for our lives to begin.
Speaking of that, the other day I was at a picnic at a park in the full, brightness of the day. Yesterday a friend showed me a picture taken of her at that picnic. While she was complaining about how old/fat/bad/etc. she looked in broad daylight, I realized that the back of my arm and part of my butt were on the edge of the snapshot of her. I was shocked by how blindingly white the back of my arm is - like it has never seen daylight, has been locked in a cave for its entire existence. Plus, it looked kind of flabby. So, Im working out with the weights in the water three times a week now. I will not have flabby, white arms. No. I will not. I will have some say about the world in which I live.
