For EVER!

Forever:  For all time; for all eternity; for an infinite amount of time. 

When things happen to me they're never going to change, ever.  It will be this way for all time, for an infinite amount of time.  Eternal.  Changeless.  When things are going my way I try to manipulate the system so that they continue to go my way, forever.  When things don't go my way . . . well, I'm here to tell you that I have a problem with that.  It isn't fair, it isn't right, and it shouldn't happen to me.  It's perfectly OK if it happens to someone else - just not me.

This, too, shall pass, or so my sponsor tells me.  I love this advice when I'm in pain but he can stick it in his ear when I'm not.
