It actually is easy, we are the ones who make it hard.

Why ? because we invented all this clever stuff to make it easier that's why. And it gives us too much time to think of how to make more clever stuff.
Were spiraling...

The important stuff is easy but we crave a certain level of discomfort and we're fairly adept at acquiring it

Most things are already too easy, so it creates this cycle of laziness. We need some challenge to keep what's left of our motivation and ambition. I'm afriad my generation is already lost, so it's up to old guys like nostatus to beat their grandchildren into submission:

Life *thwack* isn't *thwack* what you see *thwack**thwack* on *thwack* M *thwack* T *thwack* V *thwack* !!

"It" is easier once you understand basic grammer.

The word "it" refers to a subject. An apostrophy is used in conjunction only to blend the two words "it is" as in "it's." An apostrophy is never used to in the possessive form of the word "its."

Here are a couple examples. I hope it clears things up.

That chica has huge mambos. It's great that she shows them off as she does. (Correct usage of the term "it's" by blending the two words "it" and "is.")

Yes, but when I see then all out like that my little friend has a mind of its own. (Use of the possessive "its" does not use an approstophy to show possession.)

See it is really easy once you get the basic understanding of the term "it."

Heck, I don't know...try some PB Blaster or WD-40 and let it sit for awhile. Things should loosen right up.

I guess it just depends on your definition of "easy."
