That's the Way

The way things are. Do you believe in fate? Destiny?

I don't like it. The idea that somehow, from somewhere else, my entire life has been determined for me? It doesn't seem fair. But that's the way it is, isn't it? Life's not fair.

Maybe we're not predestined for anything.

Because anything's possible. Right?

But resolve is the wrench in the gears. Determination. Stubbornness. Character. Anything is possible, yes, but how willing are we to allow it to pass?

Not very.

So that's the way things are. That's why, my friend, they bring their problems to you. Because you are the mechanic. That's why you won't turn away. Because you can't look upon their pain without feeling it yourself.

These things get that way because, well... they were meant to be. Because you made them that way. And it's not fate. It's not destiny. That's the way things are.

That's the way.
