Life Is War

Life Is War

A Story by Scott Lynn
"

Just a random vow to never give up.

"

Life is war. Everyday, you wake up, get dressed, maybe have a little breakfast, and then fight your way out the door. You lead your armies of experience and inclination out into enemy occupied territory, never knowing who you'll lose that day and how many of you will make it back home alive when it's over. Sometimes it seems overwhelming, and scary as hell. But you wake up every morning and you still fight, still press on, still come home battered and bruised and feeling alive. So I'll keeping swinging my sword of determination, cutting bloody swaths through those that attempt to hold me back and encase me, until I stand alone on that far hill, armor of hope gleaming brilliantly in the light of a new day.

That reflects my mind's thoughts. Seriously, very well written. It goes on and on in a circle, and no one knows when this cycle's gonna come to an end. So....when do i get to read the sequel of this...cuz i freaking heart it!!!

It's a dog eat dog world all right. Very cute writing.

In my own personal vast worldly experience (Ha!), I've found that the attitude you have when you start each day is the attitude that you are faced with throughout that day. If you look at everyone through the eyes of Scrooge (how appropriate for me!), then you'll be faced with the Bah Humbug treatment in return. Misery begets misery.


However, if you view each ray of sunshine as another opportunity to share with your fellow human, then each day becomes a treat ... or did I just ruin the sequel to this writing?
