There Are Millions Of Daily Stories Nobody Knows

Today's blog is another reminder life go on. Life moves forward. Life starts for some of the living. Life stops for some of the living. Stories are made daily. A tiny fraction is reported. More bad stories are reported than good. Anything can happen.

There are the typical stories. Weddings, divorces, graduations, rejections, victories, defeats, promotions, accidents, natural disasters, new shows, and new grand openings. New discoveries, new learnings, and new opportunities. Fairness, unfairness, right place at the right time, wrong place at the wrong time, luck, and unfortunate circumstances. Rehabilitate, therapy completed, training completed, testing passed. Awakenings, I got it moments, and I did it moments. Break-ups, firings, farewells, and growing apart.

How about the not-so typical stories? These stories are unusual. They can happen. The man asks the woman in their date to drive him to the hospital because the mother of his child is giving birth. A white wife gives birth to a black baby. The white husband commits suicide. A son is divorcing his wife for which the son's mom must be present during the divorce lawyer's meetings. A husband and wife are divorcing after 60+ years of marriage because the daughter convinced the mom her dad is hiding money from the mom. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than people realize; in addition, more young people are diagnosed with ED. A suicide person jumps in front of a train for which the person positions the head the impact causes the head into his chest through his neck. There are high school rapes. There are students bullying the victim using his or her peanut allergy as the weapon. A movie watcher died in a movie theater cause by choking on popcorn. Nobody heard the cries for help.

These are the negative stories. Negative stories are more likely to be reported than positive stories. We rarely hear first responders saving lives. We rarely hear random acts of kindness. We rarely hear strangers helping people in distress. We rarely hear 50+ year anniversary stories. We rarely hear 100 year old birthdays.

Maybe living a life without a story of the day can be good. Boring can be good.
