A Resilient Rebel

It's this temptation to run or sometimes temptation to scream. Like you have the ticket to freedom right infront but you can't get hold of it since your tied down. It's as if reality mocks you while the future awaits right infront of you. Sounds more like the "donkey and carrot" dilemma. And the people you love, question your judgement. They will prefer believing in all the negativity in this world rather than believing in you. Ya...that's when the temptation to run or scream starts to build up real fast. What's worse? You are so badly tied down that all you can do is ask for one chance to prove yourself. You are solely at the mercy of those people who have sworn to shield you but somehow they end up hurtin you.

We all have been in these situations and the frustration can be beyond imagination. It's like you're stuck in a quicksand and the harder you try the more you get sucked into. What's weirder? Often it is us ourselves who aren't just lettin go off whatever it is holding us back. Call it anything; loved ones, past, memories, mistakes etc. Some people simply give up and label it as "Sacrifice". While some keep struggling, others choose to be blind. But once in a while a rebel is always born. He chooses to let go off anything that prevents him from advancing. Yeah...you can call him "self-centered" or "selfish" but he isn't any different from those who hold others back. He chooses to breathe for himself and according to me that is no crime. But in the eyes of this world it's a sin. But as long as this sin sets you free then I think it's worth a shot. As for this world, initially they will try to bring you down but then they'll just get used to you.

So yeah this can all be summed up in the words of an American lawyer, Clarence Seward Darrow, who said,

"As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever"
