Life today has become increasingly complicated. The world is consumed with war and hatred and (like it or not) it's going to be this way for a long time. Humanity is naturally violent: we need to fight. Fight for life, fight for love, fight for our rights, fight for a cause, fight for anything and everything. I think war is a necessary evil. I may not agree with decisions behind war and fighting, but I know one thing: "Whether you started it or they did, you better damn well finish it."
My grandfather said this to me. I never forgot it and neither should you. In a previous post, I mentioned "giving up"; in the end I decided that giving up was the wrong thing to do. Why? Because anything worthwhile needs to be fought for. It won't just fall into your lap, a gift from some higher power. You need to pour yourself into it and give it your all. That's what i do. It never works, and I end up alone and miserable for a little while, but I pick myself up and try again. And again. And again.
To all of those people who are determined, who (like me) are willing to fight for something worthy: Keep fighting. Someday your efforts will pay off. I'm still waiting for that to happen, but I know that it eventually will.
To those who give up after defeat: I was like you once. That's no way to live your life. Get out there and make a stand. Let people know you aren't afraid to speak your mind and make a difference in the world.

Strong words from a quiet man. I wrote these from the heart, and they came out exactly how I had hoped. I have the voice, but is there anyone listening?
ME ME! :D
