We'd rather sit in the mes than make the hard choices.

So true! Maybe they are hoping that some magical solution will come along and the mess is gone without them having to lift a finger. Messes don't usually get resolved without some serious changes and efforts. maybe one day they'll get tired of the mess and do something about it. Let's hope!

yeah right. its easier to say it but its hard if you do it. you should be ready for the consequences that will arise from your decisions. i believe that even if your problems today are as big as ship, and you have to go through so much trouble and pain in order to get out of it, tomorrow is another day and the sun will shine and light our way. after the hardships and sufferings, blessings will surely come our way if what we are doing is the right thing to do for your own good and the good of everybody. you will surely feel the happiness after you have surpassed all the challenges that life gives us. a happiness that you have never imagined. always pray and ask for His guidance...
