Its understandable that anyone in their right mind should have some mixed feelings about a troubling matter. Once again, the "ignorance is bliss" theory has proven its reliability. It seems that the more indifferent I get, the less I seem to procreate ideas that pull at my morals.
It takes one man to make a man. It takes one mind to make the right choices. And only one person can obtain their form of happiness by the decisions they make. I have never found it helpful to rely on anyone else for anything at all. I think for myself and try to make the best out of what I have been given... But like any human, I make mistakes just like you.
The strike system is overrated, as is the belief that someone will always be the same way. Only someone so arrogant and blinded would make a statement about people not being able to change. Look at the millions who have been changed by war. Look at the way divorce and solitude change a person. Because of spiritual conviction, people change every day... inside and out to free themselves from the sinful bondage that has been loaded on their back.
I am delighted to say that I am constantly changing. I am delighted that things are looking up for me. I am delighted that the future can always look different. I am delighted that I feel pain for once in my life. I am delighted that the love I once believed in IS real. Unfortunately the changes I've made have been noticed by all the wrong people, the "up" that I see doesn't measure up to some peoples expectations. The pain I feel is because of things I have done wrong not because something was done wrong to me, and the love I believe in is emotionally scarred and broken for eternity.
In the end, someone will have to be happy. With a down-to-earth approach, I am seeing things in a glass half full way and pressing towards stepping forward despite emotional and physical barriers. Life is tough, sad, and sometimes overwhelming, but the show must go on.
