Theoretically hypothetical.Hypothetically theoretical; jACK N jILL

What im gonna write about is a conversation my dad and i had when we were headin back home yesterday. a minute away from my house, thers a junction where u either take a right turn and go down the slope or take a left n go uphill. my house is on the left. now whenever someone who hasnt been to my house is droppin me home(i dont have a fuckin license yet), they always seem to instinctively take the right and go downhill. i was just talkn some random shit and i told my dad how everyone seems to prefer going downhill on the turn to our house....and then i realized what i said actually made sense in more ways than one. after a brief moment of inner satisfaction and relative excitement, i proceeded to explain to my dad.... "see man it makes sense....its like the natural course of life takes u downhill. you have to put in effort and work to go uphill in life....but its so much easier to go downhill, literally and figuratively. you just need to let go. like going down stairs is so much easier than climbing upstairs"...after giving my dad a moment to process we both laughed together...it wasnt as touching as it sounds but it was pretty funny. then he joined in on the theory as well and our next example was perfect considering we were sitting in it.....a car. To go up a slope you have to use the handbrake and all that jazz...basically its pretty tough(now you know why i dont have a license). now on the other hand going down the slope...well you need to do absolutely nothing...just leave the car and it goes downhill....no gear no clutch....nothing needed. similarly going downhill in life is just as easy....if not easier. We actually managed to think of all this in a couple of mins coz as i mentioned earlier, that was the turn to my house....we then went inside and continued for a bit more...and my mom, who is also my dad's wife, came and asked us what we were talking about....after i explained, she laughed(reluctantly) and asked, "so what's the point of the theory?"................moms.
Anyway im compelled to make something of that theory so the point is something like - "heard of jack and jill? you know what happend when they went up the hill? they came tumbling down and poor jack even broke his head. now if only they didnt climb that hill, things wouldve been looking much brighter for jack and jill today. the natural course of life takes us downhill....so why fight it? why try so hard to go up in life just to come tumbling down?.....let's all just let go, and go down that slope."

I am just so inspirational.....

And of the up and downhill thing...
Yeah, it does take a lot of effort to be/remain a good person, It takes a LOT of effort not to give in... but the view from the top is worth all the effort..

What say?
