Perspective.

[Some] People are equipped better to handle the adversities and the travesties of the world than others.

They, believe it or not  function on a higher level when faced with challenges.

Their minds calculate probable outcomes, and their problems? Solved.

This is where the phase, "Survival of the fittest" come into play.

Maybe they don't know how to digest the good in life. They've become so accustomed to the other side of beautiful.

It could be a mental thing, maybe they feel they don't deserve the fruits of their labor.

And just as quickly they were to receive it, they fear it could taken away just as abruptly.

That, to some, is the worst kind of tragedy.

Then there are those who welcome it,

Only because, the gain at the end?

It's the gold at the end of the rainbow.

It's the reason they get up and try, to fight.

It makes the battle; post smoke, post kill, with the moments where faith was tested.

The moment where questions went unanswered.

It makes it all worth it.

Pretty much, with this world, to each its own.
