the way it works.

When you fall, you get back up. That's just the way it is. You never intentionally stay down. If you are hurt, there will be someone down the road to help you as long as you are willing to accept what's offered. If you are not ready to get up, someone will sit with you. If you are being kept down, then get mad and fight it. And when you are ready, you'll brush the dirt off your hands, take a deep breath, and stand. One step, two step, and in time you'll look back at where you fell. An impression of the past, but not a burden.

That's how it works.
