From the Battlefield

Is there not a cause? Is there not a reason? Does anyone see that this is worth saving? Does anyone know a reason why this should not be? The matter is too great, and those who venture far enough to engage will find an inward flame that cannot be quenched. It burns within the soul and drives a person to risk it all to reach it. This is purpose. This is the ultimate quest, and this venue must be reached more than living itself. Without regard to the flame within, there might as well not be breath, and beyond the redeeming factor there is no place of rest.

So, what is it that drives a person? What is it that pulls them off the proverbial couch and gives them drive? What is it that motivates without external influence? Is there such a reason to wake? Is there such a reason to breathe or shall the sloven behavior encompass the lackluster mind? Maybe, just maybe, there should be a fire lit within that will drive away apathy and push lethargy aside.

But again, that might take effort. That might take risk, and that might be costly. The battlefield is not an easy one, and many fall short for fear of the fight, but those who drive through the pain, through the fear, through the longevity, are those who find victory even when the finish line cannot be seen.

Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
