Let’s imagine for a moment that the world is NOT an evil place. If we all treated each other how we’d like to be treated, eventually someone would come along to dispel that myth. And to stay safe or survive the encounter, we’d have to change who we are and mirror some of their actions, thus changing our own persona, however briefly or long term that may be.
So, how does one go from one extreme to the other, and return, safe and sound? We are not untouched; we are survivors of our own lives.
And here’s the rub. Many of those encounters are of our choosing. Free Will and all. Of course our decisions are not of our making and are limited to non-existent if we are still children, but once we have reached the age of consent, we have choices to make, ones that change how we percieve the world and our roles in it.
Will we lie down and take what’s coming at us, or come out swinging? Are you a “Victim” or “Warrior”?
What path will you choose today, and will it affect who you wish to be?
