Man
Abraham Lincoln wrote, " I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live the best life that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right and part from him when he goes wrong."
We choose our decisions and we make the best out of what we have. We choose whats right and we shun away from whats wrong. Some people live with doubt in their hearts, some regret not tolerating, while some, just are too afraid to accept. Selfishness is not a right or a curse, it is in fact a gift because with selfishness comes a friend and foe, compromise. We cannot afford to stick with what we believe all the way. Compromise bends us to ways that we never dare walk because we are unfamiliar. But in doing so, that risk is justified.
Selfishness stands in the way of many we all have it just a different extent of its limit. If you ask me, i have learnt that in life you do things you dont like and sometimes you do things that you must do. But it is also at times you make sacrifice to make things better on the outside although it'll hurt for a while on the inside. Half of the Millions and billions of people are out there fearing to do what they ought to , the other half make do and do what they need to.
It is not about what you like to do, it is about what you need to do. You make your life. Again as Abraham Lincoln wrote, it is not the years in our life but the life in our years. One day, we all come home. everyone will. We have regrets, but some of us still have time to erase them. Some of us, just refuse to face them. But i say give me regret, if i can keep the good memories.
Its hard to make decisions that are against you. Its hard compromising to a state that you are unfamiliar with for the thingsd you love. Yet, its an even tougher road having to do both. But i learn that when you learn to give things up, you reap a greater return. They say the road is always bitter, but the destination is always sweet.
Ciao.
