How I learned to live a better story...

I've lived some good stories now, and those stories have improved the quality of my life. But I have also let go the idea things will ever be made perfect, at least while I am walking around on this planet. I've let go of the idea that this life has a climax. I'm trying to be more Danish, I guess. And the thing is, it works.
When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. And when you stop expecting material possions to complete you, you'd be surprised at how much pleasure you get in material possesions. And when you stop expecting God to end all your troubles, you'd be surprised how much you like spending time with God.
