PE = Bad? (Phys Ed yes... but Potential Energy?)
"I got a room at the top of the world tonight and I ain't comin' down"
First of all, read that post. Or else all that follows is meaningless...
I find that this is a relatively good argument. This potential energy in our lives always does, at some point, convert and send us hurtling toward the ground. It never fails. You're on top of the world one day, and something/someone/some force pushes you off the next. So why push on? Why set yourself up for another inevitable fall? Maybe lying on the ground the rest of your life isn't such a bad idea.
How about this?
When you're on your way to the ground and headed toward that painful impact, jump on a swing and ride that energy back to the top. Sure you're just setting yourself up for another fall... But hey! You'll swing to the top again! Isn't that feeling you get when you're at the top worth the fall? Jump on a swing and keep on keepin on. Ride that energy for all it's worth.
I always end up getting sick on a swing after so long...

I like your idea--it's very clever. The thing is, I was content to swing back and forth when I was eight. Now it's just boring. I either want to go somewhere new or give up. I'm sick of thinking I'm moving forward then realizing I'm starting to swing right back to where I was a minute ago.
Also, if you don't pump on the swing, eventually you just settle at the bottom. Pumping is a lot of work, and I don't seem to be a very good at it. I'm the little kid who pumps and pumps but goes nowhere and ends up just wasting energy.
Basically, I need a push from one of the big kids...bad.
