My dad has always done little projects around the house. Most of the time he says "why pay for someone else to do something you can do yourself?" but often he will admit that he enjoys, what he would call, his contribution to the family. The funny thing is that he always runs into some kind of problem along the way... pretty much without fail. He sits there and ponders a way around it. Whenever he can get my ear he will explain the situation thoroughly and finish with a pause, sigh and then say "Nothing is easy."
Though my old man acts exasperated it's clear that the extra challenge just makes the whole thing more appealing to him. It's not that he hopes for problems... he just likes solving them.. because when he does it just makes the line through the particular "to-do" more definite and meaningful (word choice? W/E).
Nothing is easy. It really is true.
My hope of the day is that I will be able to understand people better. And when I don't understand them.. to not get all mad and whatnot.
