Aggressively pursuing your interests in a sense of hopelessness, a sort of desperation, is a process nobody understands better than you do. How It appears to the outside world, I compare to the best cut slice of Beef which gloriously makes it to the display, representing the rest of the stock in a Butchery. It is the kind of drive that can be compared to LIFE itself,with nothing to lose but everything to WIN.
Just a while back during my final year in school, an interesting occurance which I find memorable to date happened. It was a philosophy class which had a wildly heated debate on religion, with our lecturer being a Catholic priest making it even more interesting an occasion. The kind of debates where everyone is right in their ways yet "One common right" must be achieved. It is during such moments when three hours seem like One. About a quarter an hour to the end of class time, when the lecturer had rendered the unending Hot topic a takeaway assignment, a young guy knocked and was allowed in. He requested for a short time to address the class and that chance was outrightly granted to him.
He introduced himself then went straight to his intent. He mentioned that he was there to remind us all that God loves us. The whole room burst into laughter, not because what he said was funny, but it posed a probable continuation to a debate which had not even been concluded. He was a stranger to that and it made him feel awkward, yet still managed to contain himself and proceed with the presentation. His conclusive remarks received a wild round of applause, in my opinion for the Courage to stage such an act. He unknowingly managed to settle the waters of a divide during that occasion. When Muslims defended their faith as Christians countered and Atheists checked both, he had somehow made us understand that God Loves us All,as simple as that.
Such a firm stance behind what we want to achieve is what i am talking about. I still contemplate the inspiration behind that act, the innermost motive. Imagine that kind of drive transferred to a life goal, a task at hand or everything we face. To be honest, If I were wagering, I wouldn't bet against such a guy.
It further shows how all idealism is deeply rooted in the Beacons of Realism. For someone to boldly do what they do in an aggressive and consistent way,it doesn't just reflect what they desire alone, it also speaks of past situations and experiences. We read and educate ourselves because we understand how illiteracy can almost reduce one to a half-human. Even the problems which early man faced inspired innovation and invention as an attempt to solve what appeared problematic.
In Conclusion,I allude that an individual's past experiences makes up a great percentage of why and how they do what they do. Indeed, History is more than the path left by the past. It influences the present and shapes the future through shared idealism,unity of ambition and a passion for freedom.
With all that said, I would like to know one thing; How do you feed your Convictions?
