When your mind is muddled with a billion thoughts and when nothing around you makes no sense it is very easy to make stupid choices. Strength of Character is what I am talking about. Not everyone has it, but anyone optimistic covets.Strength of character is nothing but taking a stand and sticking to it regardless of the opposition you face thereafter.
They say that man is a social animal. Yes! he is, but that does not mean that he has to go with the flow and do any and every atrocity there is to be done. According to me atrocity is not just not what is conveyed in the dictionaries, but it is every single action that you take which eventually hurts another individual.Everyday over a billion atrocities are committed and very often even a single atrocity committed hurts someone else more than once and in some cases it for an entire lifetime.What of that ? Can it be quantified? No !! Obviously not!!
The point I am trying to make is that when the whole world around you tells you that your wrong, take a minute and think it through and then if you are able to explain your stand with any logic you have and deep down you know that you are right then from that moment on stick to it. If you are able to stick to it no matter what kinda crap is thrown your way by the rabble,friends and even family then that my friends is what Strength of character is. It is this Strength of Character that defines society. Not too many people have it and it is those select few that are capable of setting paths. No decision or thought is ever right or wrong. All morals,values etc that is deemed right in today's world are considered right because of the strength of character of some in the past.
Trying to live your life trying to be someone your not is foolishness.Be yourself however weird you are, but yeah remember " atrocity" . I might sound like a Hippocratic right now , but I am confident that you can use your common sense in judging what atrocity means.
You were created unique.. mediocrity is not for you.
Cheers!!
