What keeps you going?
Despite hardships in life, what's something that keeps you going?
I use my sense of humor as a way of coping with pain.

Spite and my wife's happiness.
As an unwanted child from an affair, everyone from my entire family, most adults from my childhood, as well as many statistics say I'll end up in permanent debt, live in a roach infested ghetto apartment working three minimum wage jobs with no relationships beyond exes and illigitimate children.
So far I'm happily and loyally married to an equally loyal woman. I have a full time job I love doing and do it well. I am in an apartment but in a decent neighborhood and no bugs(anymore). And we're trying for our first child of 4(max).
All this was built on a foundation of spite but has since evolved to taking care of my wife. It will one day evolve to care for my children as well.

@SW-User Thank you, so much, for your very sweet and kind words!
I appreciate you, for saying them.
I have fallibility, hurts, mistakes, regrets, like anyone else.
It is my Faith and extensive life long training, that helps me, overcome the negativity. I have learned that, in being positive and caring for others, is the only way, to find comfort and perhaps, cleanse my Soul.
I know this will never bring me Salvation, but it brings me, so much Peace in my life, while still, living on this planet! 😊🤗❤️

The situation our country and the world is in right now. People need to awaken from the BS distractions and inform people what the hell is going on, before the Chinese troops start rolling up American streets. This is no joke.....
QUOTES FOR THE TIMES WE LIVE IN........
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-Ronald Reagan-
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
-Edmund Burke-
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer-
“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, ‘You are mad; you are not like us.' "
-St. Anthony the Great-
"To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That’s what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul – would you understand why that’s much harder?"
-Ayn Rand-
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin-
“A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.”
-Booker T. Washington-
“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
-George Orwell-
"The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.”
-St. Augustine-
“The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
-John Stuart Mill-
"You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor."
-Aristotle-
“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.”
-John Wayne-
