One of the hardest things that I've learned about life is that you have to stick to your principles. Whenever you believe in something or someone and when things don't go well, that's when your beliefs get tested. A lot of times, there'll be some spin doctor out there who starts to fill your mind with ideas that this is cool, but when things fall apart and you're in deep trouble, he changes his tune and makes a quick exit and a quit change in ideas. It leaves you demanding the question why is life so unfair, but have to remember what you really believe in to get a grip on things. When it comes to principles in an unfair world, I remember the song "Something To Believe In" by Poison. Things song talks about false prophets, suicidal war vets, dead friends and the unfairness of life while wanting to believe there's something worth believing. A lot of times there are people out there who try to fill my head with ideas that do me or harm than good and ironically, these so-called "preachers" are the first to throw away what they believe in and do something else after leaving all those they poisoned in the middle of the road, stewed on this false ideas. A lot of times, we laugh and redicule at the small dreams of simple folks and when they fall into hard times, we laugh at them even more for believing. These days, believing in something, according to some people is a joke. These days, that way of thinking is very fashionable and those who believe are looked upon as superstitious fanatics who live in the Dark Ages. Despite this trend of thinking, I have learned that there are some beliefs that are worth keeping. Even when life is so unfair, that's when you have to believe even more. No one wants to be tested but it's only during the worst of times that when one can see if one's beliefs are true, let alone strong. No matter how many times things change, there are some things that remain the same and no spin doctor can change that. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, but atleast that dog won't change his spots. Poison - Something to Believe In
