We have fought. We have fought and died. We have attacked and hated our neighbors, lashed out against our brothers, cursed the names of our fathers and ran away from our mothers. We have proved ourselves to be a species of war and desolation. However, it is our compassion and our ability to understand one another through our follies that stand out. It is our small fragments of light that have the ability to outshine the darkness.
The history of our race is a dark one. Battle after battle after war after war we have demolished and ravaged the earth we live upon. Such wars and centuries of conflict are started by those who have no other pleasure other than to watch the world burn and to see men struggle for freedom. It is in these times that we watch men rise to greatness. There is a mysterious code of chromosomes that enable us to become indestructible. While we stay concious, there is no force that can destroy us if we so choose. The strongest man in the world can be defeated by a man with an indominable will. Our strength, endurance, speed, intelligence, senses and all other parts that make us human will fail in comparison to our power of will. It is a sword of power that lies inside each and every man's heart that is just waiting for us to simply take hold of the pommel and take a swing at our enemies.
What we do here on earth, will echo forever in eternity. It is our duty to take up our arms and fight for the freedom and the peace that our children deserve. If we do not stand together on the field that our ancestors stood upon and decided to take their own brother's lives, then we will follow in their very footsteps. No longer can we be so ignorant, no longer can we be so cowardice, no longer shall we speak with stupidity, no longer shall we give our loyalty to the darkness that threatens our humanity, no longer will we run from the giants that stand before us in our paths. This is the moment where we should make our stand. It is now in this time when the history books should resound with the tales of the men who strove to take evil out of the world and fight until the last breath in our bodies. It is now that we need to let our light outshine the malevolent clouds hovering overhead and force the oppressors in our world to face their crimes and walk proudly towards their punishment.
Now is the time to stand up, now is our time to to stand up and shout out, "We will not lie down and dissapear into the night, we will continue to fight." We will continue to live on and fight. And if we fail, then our children will fight, and if they fail, then their children will fight. And their children and their children until the fighting is over and both sides are too tired to continue. And then our thrice great-grandchildren will struggle to their feet with all the power they've been entrusted with and will kick and punch and force the darkness to submit. Victory will be ours.
Stand fast, hold your ground and refuse to give up. No matter what you do now past this point you must remember to never give up. The world will knock you to your knees and keep you there permanately if you let it. You've got to be able to take the hits that are going to come and continue to press on. That's the struggle. Being able to take the powerful hits from the world and continually pressing on, but that's how we'll win. We write our own destiny, not anyone else, so don't ever say that you can't keep going because someone held you back. The only person that will keep you from becoming great is yourself. Your life is your own story. How will you decide to write it?
History has proven that it only takes one good man to change the world for the good of all mankind. Imagine what kind of things history could say if that man had a friend standing by him who was just as good. What could the history books say if there were three or four or five good men who decided to stand firm together? The world would never be the same.
"From the dark, comes the light."
