The world tries to screw us all...

Everybody likes to think of themselves as an individual. Everybody has their own taste. Their own way to do things. Nobody likes to buckle down or change their style upon somebody's command. I doubt there are any exceptions. The world, the jungle we live in, apparently has very different plans. It plans on exploiting the people, and the sad part is the fact that there is nothing much anybody can do about it. What it literally does is rape the people it can, make the most out of them and then throw them to the wolves. Sometimes it happens out in the open. Totally public, a common knowledge, but who has the guts to face the goons lest they rip out the poor person's throat?

We try to justify the whole issue to ourselves just to make ourselves feel better about it. We try to reason, we try to tell ourselves that there weren't really many options but to give in to the whole thing. We think,"There is no glory in fighting, but praise in surviving. Even if you're battered and bruised, there is still hope. Life moves on. I've done nothing different from what others might have done. I want to save my skin too." If you had thought of your actions to be justifiable, you probably wouldn't have needed that to-self pep talk. In truth? This was a hunt. You were the prey. You feel guilty about giving in. That's where the anger comes in.

You start feeling pathetic and low to have given in to the money asking, forgery performing, manipulating thugs who command your life. There were things you could have done, and with luck gotten away with it. You could have been a hero by ridding the society of one menace if you had chosen to. You could have kneed the bastard in the weak spot and finished the whole thing, but you chose to give in. Why?

The answer is simple. Lack of courage. Most of us know the right from wrong. Many of us are educated enough to screw the conniving wolves that roam our peaceful meadow, but we lack the courage. The bad guys have no restraint after all. They don't go by our rules. We all lack courage. And no, the fact we all lack it doesn't make it alright. We call the few gifted with it as stupid. Stupid enough to fight the unlawful thing. We admire the few, but have no courage to stand up with them. Without support, even the strong will perish. You are not gifted with the guts required to be the first one to stand? Atleast try and be supportive about the person who does decide to stand for you.

It all starts with cowardice. Thats how the wolves get the edge. They smell fear. They know you will give in, so they come for you. If you're ready to be messed around with, stay down, maybe they'll leave you alive. If you truly wish to survive, don't be an idiot, make an army. Fight back. Only a society can beat a society. One man cannot. We must fight for what we have. You may turn out to be the hero legends are made of...
