For every one of us, life is a series of ups and downs. And honestly, we have very few complaints about the ups. The ups are on the whole, pretty fantastic. Ten out of ten score for life's ups.

But in the down parts, it's really easy to completely forget about the ups. People are very skilled at tricking themselves into thinking that everyone is in it for themselves and true compassion is a myth. But the reality is that almost everyone is trying to do their best at any given time, and we just need a reminder that this whole life thing is a pretty good deal.

It's probably healthy to take a moment and force yourself to accept that people are decent, especially when it doesn't feel that way. And even if you're totally unconvinced that people are generally alright, at least there's dogs. Dogs don't mess around, man. Those things freakin' love you.
