Roller-coasters and Cotton Candy

We see it occur every day, and we consider it one of the basics of action and consequence. The scientific evidence is proven in every moment, every situation, and every experience. Sir Issac Newton's three laws of motion are the basis of everyday life.

- Every object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force.
- Force equals mass times acceleration (F=MA).
- To every action there is an equal and opposite action.

And, consequentially;

- What goes up, must come down.

To every good thing that occurs, there seems to be a bad thing that must equal this. I'm sure this is not scientifically proven; but the theory itself seems founded enough to merit approval.

In the past few weeks, my life has been a sequence of ups and downs. The ups have been amazing and perfect, the downs have been soul crushing and devastating. However, we learn from these occurrences in our lives, which then fuels the "ups" becoming apparent.


So, today I will write two blog posts. One, talking about the "ups", and the amazingness of this. And, another, on the soul crushing "downs. I feel they need to be separate, as life is a series of roller-coasters; a never ending journey of highs and lows, and the adventure it provides us.

I finish this brief introduction by quoting George Burns. It does seem miserable, but truth prevails where fantasy evaporates.

"Everything that goes up must come down. But, there comes a time when not everything that is down can come up".
- George Burns
