Think of people like cars. You're fresh off the assembly

Line, kid

As you cruise along, you get bumps, and scrapes, and even a few serious dings. The more time passes, the more mottled and off-center the vehicle becomes.

Eventually you have a crash or two or three. Things break you people break you. You break them. But, every time, somehow, as if out of spite, the engine sputters and lollops and pushes forward.

It pushes forward even as the air has fled the wheels, and the windows are shattered, and the chassis is in pieces, and the skittering shards of rusted-out metal scrape sparks across life's never ending asphalt.

And then some kid with his shiny factory-fresh self comes along and asks why exactly you need to watch four hours of celebrity gossip a day just to hang on!

You're welcome sugarlump
