What Can You Live Without

In training today we were given and exercise to do. We got a list of words, about 16, like respect, honesty, trust, forgiveness, honor, patience and others.  We were then asked out of those 16 words which 5 could we live without.  We spent only five minutes to think about the words and what we can live without.  It was hard to decide what we could live without.

There are things we want to have and dont want to live without.  The ones we all picked were ones that generally isnt found in society like fairness, life isnt fair no one will get things equally, so I can live without it.  Do I want it, sure.  We all want fairness, but will we get it, probably not.  I think it was so hatd because we dont want to accept that we can live with something like fairness or justice.

There is a sense of wanting things in life.  We want people to be kind, respectful, just, patience and whatever else.  But in reality is everyone everything we want them to be?  Of course not.  But we still expect it, and honestly find it hard  to believe that its possoble it doesnt exist.  What is something you find hard to accept that you can live without?
