Stronger

[Sleeping Dragon]

"What we survive makes us stronger". BULL SHIT!!!!!!

It's not the struggle that makes us strong. It's our guts and determination during the struggle that gets us through.

I'm suck and tired of modern science and medicine trying to sell us the magic pill. And, I'm even sicker of those who believe it exists. Every damn one of those pills have side effects that, at times, are nearly as bad as what they're designed to cure.

Please don't misunderstand. I'm thankful for the pill. I'm on treatment that's kept me alive for the past forteen years. But, during that same time it was up to me to find ways to make the most of the life I had left.

Every day everyone has to find some reason to keep going. It's tough for us cause of the extra baggage that we picked up during combat. But, this I know my Brothers and Sisters. The day I quit trying is the day I quit moving. And, the day I quit moving is the day I take one right between the eyes.

So, take the pills my Brothers and Sisters, BUT KEEP MOVING. It's up to you.

I've been thinking along these lines all day. I need to move more.

Keeping moving is sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself. Just the physical act itself as well as the focus on something other than what's current on your radar. One thing at least should be something that you really like to do. It can make life more meaningful and worth hangin' around a while longer for.
