When the going gets tough the tough get going…the wise look for a better way around
-The Puppet Master
We cannot save the World.
If we keep focusing on the problems we face every day: the overwhelming weight of the guilt, the hatred, the feeling of impotence, the arrogance, the indifference, we won’t ever solve anything. We will end up committing mass suicide one day.
We as humans are the (some say) most evolved of species, yet we are also the most primitive in one too many a way. Humans have a great capacity to learn and to be understanding, but also capable of being exceedingly cruel, unforgiving, and demanding. We are happy only when sitting at the judge’s podium, someone else being the victim. We then become powerful, cold, distant, different, listening only to our own decrees and determinations. Yet, when we are in the spotlight we’re like wild beasts defending ourselves against any judgment from someone else. In our minds we aren’t holy, for we foolishly think we are better than that.
The past can help us guide ourselves towards our own future. Some, however, are so rotten inside they will dwell in the past like vultures over a morbid corpse, pecking at the broken pieces of the person you once were.
Despite it all, despite the desolate future we can foresee if things keep going the way they are be strong.
Be strong when you are hurting and no one seems to care.
Be strong when you have been humiliated, for taking revenge is showing weakness.
Be strong when you’re misjudged, when others don’t believe you, or don’t believe in you.
Be strong when you’re alone in your quest for becoming a better person, when others think you have no hope for change.
Oh, but the vultures of the past will still be haunting you, flying above, their shadows looming towards your every failing step. They will feed on your fear, they will delight on your pain upon remembering your transgressions, they will flaunt on their only virtue, their ability to hurt.
Lesson Learned: By being strong you will not only survive the continuously evolving chaos we live in, you’ll also be above the likes of those who live reminding you of your past mistakes, and above those who can’t do more than point at your present ones.
