The life of
the courageous is
definitely not death
but to survive
by any means
necessary and live.
Cowardice is definitely
not an absence
of courage,
it means you
survived today for
another time.
It means safety.
It means you
have won just
for the moment.
What is the
point of dying
when you can
save yourselves.
Even the best
General in an
army loses a battle
and strategize
for another day.
Cowardice means
inner strength to
bear humiliation,
but is it
not much better
than to die.
Let me tell
you now in truth,
there is no
honor in death.
Only thing that
gets you honor
is to stay alive.
To survive is
more honorable.
It means you
took in the pain,
endured the humiliation,
it makes you
even more disciplined.
You are counted
among the titans
that survived to
tell the story.
History will not
be written or
complete without you,
you can never
be forgotten as
an eye witness.
You are not
a coward but
the brave.
Your scar tells
a story of
your bravery.
That wound means
you survived.
