Life is....

[Paul Whybrow]

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

I'm getting too much of "what happens to you" is an elaborate production number in which people SAY they are going to do something, and don't. The only proper response I can think of to something like that is to walk away. Latest example: An online critique group reviewing my play and it gradually becomes clear they didn't read it. They had, I guess, skimmed it. (Later I gave it yet another rewrite--not using an suggestions from the group-- and sent it off to a literary magazine.)
