"Life is just a gradual process of compromises..." (?)

Actually, I find this phrase a bit troubling, because if this is true then there really is no hope for true happiness, and all of life will just be a continual process of "settling." How jaded!!!

Well personally, I'm not really wanting to endorse that, but apparently a lot of people probably think that's the norm, judging from the movie I saw this weekend - Closer with Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts. The movie was basically about failed relationship, of an inability to ever feel truly close to a human being and actually know and trust them... and ultimately everyone was just unhappy, realizing that they were living lies.

It was a very dissenchanting thought that "maybe we're just stuck here hoping on nothing," which isn't really anything at all... but honestly I think that is where my opinion drastically departs from the norm - because of my belief in Christ; because of my belief in an everlasting creator and shaper. I think life can be crappy, but honestly, you don't have to live in the dumps and compromise because you have "a future and a hope."

Life is really an adventure... it's colorful, it hurts sometimes... but everything fits together into the masterplan; the beautiful tapestry that God is weaving...
