Eventually Quote by S.K.S. Perry
““There’s the way things should be, and then there’s the way things are. Things will never be the way they should be as long as people keep saying that’s just the way things are. If everyone got together and ensured that things were the way they should be, then eventually the way things are would be the way they should be. Of course, that will never happen. That’s just the way things are.””
