the sword
Broken people break other people, just like hurt people end up hurting others.
Why be blinded by pain? Isn't suffering the door through which we enter this world? And yet, it is full of sweetness if one dares to look close enough.
If all you can see is that which you believe to see, what is truly there before your eyes, beyond the broken perception that distorts the sound of life? Can you see the truth in everything, can you look for it?
The world isn't screaming at you. What you hear is merely the pain you didn't dare to face, because burying it deep felt safer. Who do you choose to be in this world is your responsibility and your honor. You've been gifted that immense power. Little do you know it is like a sword you have to learn to harness. Everyone wants a sword, but only the hero knows how to use it. Take it by force and it won't come out, strain yourself all you want, cry about it, yell about it. It won't still come out. Be desperate, be arrogant, none of it will move the sword. Alas, if you've lost your courage, faith, confidence, you won't have the ingredient which makes the hero, a winner in their own story: resilience. So endure all of it, reflect as you grow and open your eyes, ears and mind, until the day comes and you learn to pull out your sword and use it wisely. Above all, open your heart because that's what makes the hero, a true warrior. Love wins all.
