Hahaha I saw a picture of a dry erase board on the door of an old Hawken Student's dorm room and it read:
"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons; what am I suppose to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life RUE THE DAY it decided to give you lemons..."
and it goes on from there, but it's funny because the whole idea of the phrase "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is to make due with what you're given. And yes, yes this is a true philosophy, but not for all situations. Live and let live, is one of those cases where you should "make life rue the day". I think part of the problem is we settle for the live and let live mentality, in turn confusing people. Live and let live is now Don't Ask Don't Tell, and a reluctant tolerance policy. Live and let live is NEITHER of these things we have allowed the phrase to transform into; it is equality, it is acceptance, it is love. So when life gives you shitty ass lemons like that:
"Hi. Yes, I would like to speak to life's manager for a few minutes please. And I'm not taking no for an answer. :) Thank you."
