As we age and go about our lives we will face many trials. Persecutor’s questioning our ambitions and testing our strength. Waiting for us to give in or break down, only to meet their pleasure. Judges who will compare us and critique our every move. Making us feel as small and insignificant as the dirt we drag our feet upon. And lastly there is the victim, ourselves. We must look the victim in the mirror every morning and face its emotions, hate, gratitude, fear, courage, anxiety, and pity. Constantly changing perspectives in life as we cross certain paths and destinations. We grow together and grow apart. We are human and were not perfect. Our “self-discovery” journey is an adventure called life, and everyone must face it. Because in the midst of the roller coaster of heaven and hell, we will find our purpose. We will discover our holy grail, our happiness, what keeps us aching for another day. Yet meet the shadow hiding in the darkest corner of our minds. As the great philosopher, Nietzsche, once stated “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”And it’s up to us what we want to do after our discovery.
