life in suspense

we all love suspense. well, okay, we love suspense in movies, novels, video games, etc. we all hate suspense in life. but the reason we love it in fiction is because we know its what makes the story good. i think a lot of people lack the ability to endure suspense in their lives because of the anguish that usually accompanies it. i mean, you don't have to have a good story, do you? but why wouldn't you want one? what else are you going to talk about when you're 80 years old? you'll be telling your kids about all the "what if's" that you didn't want to wait around to see what might have been. boring!

so hate the suspense if you must... but try to embrace it a little bit too. that is all. good night.
