i actually wrote this in german but i translated it...

That's the way I imagined life is some time ago: a very long
street, maybe even a trip around the world! Sometimes
everything is so direct and  one knows where he/she is
going, sometimes one walks in flat areas like pastures and
othertimes one climbs mountains or swims in seas and there
are times when one loses his/her map and it needs one some
time to retrieve it, buys another or maybe borrows one :)
>Sometimes the sun shines and othertimes it's dark. There
are times when you have a torch and times when the battery
is empty.
>Isn't life just like that??"
