What it takes?
If my life amounts to allowing someone else to live one more day I will have considered my life a success, but that is flawed. In order to give life I must first take the life which threatens the protected. If I eliminate the threat I become the threat, yet what if I am fighting for "good?" What if I were fighting for what the majority of the people supporting me believed in? And who's to say they're supporting me? What if what the majority of the people with me, if they were indeed with me, believed something different than the threat? Would I still become my enemy? I believe so. Threat, just like good and evil, are opinions that are labeled by the charismatic and arrogant rulers that are in place only because the human race believes it needs order and discipline. Every word you read is an example of our race's need for labels. Everything about our lives suggests habit. "Habits bring us back to yesterday." -you can figure out who said it. So until I can find the way to solve all the world's problems, even though if I ever "solve" them I'll only be solving my own, I'm going to train to survive. I am man: greedy, flawed. I'm going to live my life to the fullest. Don't get in my fucking way.
