Encouragement
Just thinking:
I don't call myself a survivor but rather a fighter... Because whether I survive or not during the fight as long as I have fought for the thing that I believe to be right... I would not feel defeated.
I am not sure if I view life (as a whole) a war or a battlefield. I have not yet think about that. I haven't yet sit and try to define what life is... I think life is just too broad to comprehend... So I just made a goal and a direction for my life... A destination for this journey.
I just felt that in this lifetime we have to fight for something... because there will be no one to spoon feed us all the things that we desire of... Most of the times we need to have bruises and sweat to have it...And in this and through this we will mature and learn piece by piece. ( I am including all kinds of desires the righteous ones and those that are not. As long as someone is fighting for it.)
It shows that we believe that we are not here like a dried leaves being tossed to and fro by the wind and when someone comes and step on us and heard that crunchy crushed (I like doing it - stepping on the dried leaves)... Or the saddest thing when the clean up people comes and sweep us... Gather us into one corner and burn!!! FINISH! THE END...
Hey, life doesn't end there... Look around... It continues... For some it continues like an endless cycle but to some it also continues but towards a specific direction.
One of my friends told me that the poorest people in the world are those who doesn't know how to dream... I was shocked! I thought, Is there really someone out there who doesn't know how to dream? But from that moment I became sensitive to my surroundings and found out - yes, there are many not few not some but many of them...
Though fighting is the most tiring thing to do... Most of the time the most painful... But there is joy in that pain... For me this might be the most fulfilling...Sometimes when I saw the veterans those people who fought for my country's freedom ( I gave them so much respect) I wanted to ask them how does it feel when now you can see our flag is up there... After those darkest war now how does it feel to have achieved the things that you have given your life for? I think they would understand this stuff that I am writing now more than I do...( Though I am the writer of this but they have lived up what I am writing. In this world I can give them the right to say I have done my course).
And lastly, I realized, yes! Indeed we are created in the likeness of God... HE IS WILD AT HEART. Creating human like us and dying and fighting - all the time - fighting and pursuing us to love him back is the wildest thing I could ever think that a God like Him would ever do...
