Be Grateful
I don’t know I got to be such an angry person, but I have this somewhat vague idea of the events that have really crystallized this state. From what I can remember, I have always been an uptight person; never settled, and now I feel, that the truth of it all is that it’s now really upon me.
In all honesty; everyone has their breaking point. That may seem like a very simple thing to say, but in all actuality; as a society; we have a very long way to go, in understanding the human condition. I knew a good man. I knew a man I looked up to; someone who I wasn’t, but aspired to be.
Nothing is more sobering than seeing a good person turn bad. In both reality and fiction, I have seen such great men and women on the edge; believing in what what was once the most grounding thing, now ,with time shifting like nature; an uncompromising resolve. I have seen the most selfless people exist with nothing but thankfulness for their lot. I have seen these people hold fast in the face of adversity. Seen them not compromise in hardship; witnessed the steadfast belief in nothing but the most quiet ideals.
Most of us, we could say, have lived a fortunate life. I know of a few things that I cannot yet fully welcome. As I have heard and identified with: “Our integrity is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free”. What else do we really have?
Everything breaks eventually.
