The Fray

Life trials are inevitable. Without them where would any of us be? Mistakes are amazing. Misfortune is fortunate. Pain is strength. I would not care too much for life without the negative. To negate that part of life is to misinterpret the meaning of good (and all of its synonyms).

Pain teaches us to deal with fear, and how to approach it, so we may not use fear as a force for motivation, but rather a guide to lead us to hope. Hope is the only true power in life. Hope is what gives a person meaning - life meaning. Without hope... what do we have?

Living through the turmoil is no way to live, it is not the effect created from the cause, but more a choice we make. If you choose to live in fear and turmoil, then you certainly will. Rather, if you experience pain and fear, choose not to let it define you or your life. Life is too short, do not be afraid to live it. Furthermore, do not be afraid for it to end.




"Once more into the fray,
Into the last good fight I'll ever know,
Live and die on this day,
Live and die on this day."
