I wanted to share something I saw in a documentary recently. I was watching a PBS documentary from 1992 concerning Coney Island. Now, as I've written a few times before, I'm obsessed with Coney Island. It is such a bizarre place to me and often as a wander around the boardwalk there I feel like Alice in Wonderland...only with a penis.
A segment of the documentary talked about a time in the early 1900's when one of the most popular amusement parks in Coney Island burnt down. The next day the owner of the now non-existent park addresses the public and said this, "I have problems today that I didn't have yesterday. And the problems I had yesterday I no longer have today."
I love that quote. I think it shows a man that understood the proper perspective of life. What is really important in life? Day to day issues are often less important than we make them out to be. Maybe the only thing truly important in life is having the opportunity to continue living.
