There is a defining moment in one's life when he realizes he has outgrown his former self . Grown in all
aspects of life , leaving nothing but past demons to subtlety remind him of his triumph . And so he rejoices in his victory through his actions , his thoughts and his attitude . Shouting in exclamation to the world "Nothing can no longer remind me of the pain! Damn he who dares to crumble my spirit and to hell the naysayers that speak lies of me !" . In my opinion , one would have to brave through the waves of cuts and bruises life throws at you in order to achieve this higher state of being . A perilous journey that most would dare not to take and some even drown in its horrors. But at the end of the storm , you will find clear blue skies like no other , warm sunlight and soft clouds above , greet your success with calm oceans and cool breezes .
That is when you know you have made it .
But the real testament of a wise man is the sacrifices that he is willing to make for the greater good .
Be it small or big , losing something for the gain of others is a virtue that cannot be bought nor bestowed upon, but is learnt . Learnt by feeling the pain and pressure of a hard life , knowing that you would not bear to see your loved ones experience what you have .
And so you sacrifice .
You take what you have learnt and pass it to those you care .
You compromise comfort , wealth , power and maybe even your life ,
To provide a better future for them .
Willpower is strong ,
and demons run when a good man declares war .
