The Weak... The Strong..

Heres a question. WHo wants to be weak?

Being weak means you have to be at the losing end at every game. Being weak means you have to watch people overtake you, surpass you, and all you always get to do is eat dust and rub dirt off your shoes. Being weak means that you are worthless, you are nothing compared to people who are strong, who are powerful, who can control and dominate.

And what about being strong? That you have the advantage, you have the edge, the prowess, the strength, the speed, the agility, the intelligence, the power over somebody else.

Now heres the problem.

No one is perfect. So how in the world can there be the strong, and there be the weak? If god created everyone in his image, how on earth was it possible that some people can be better than others? Why is it that we have the poor the rich, the popular and the geeks, the strong and the weak? If the gods were fair and that everyone was born to do something, how is it that an innocent 5 year old can die in a car crash, and a criminal mastermind can live up to the age of 70 and die from old age?

Heres the solution

The gods played fair. We humans did not. Its all for a good cause if we even bother to look at things from a different angle, if we can take the time to diviate from this 'pessimistic' way of thinking things over.

A metoer hit your home. The first thing that comes to mind is 'Oh God! Why the hell did you do this to me?' You never cared to bother what if that metoer had crashed directly into you or your little sister playing near the beach.

A tsunami crashed into the seaside. You see your parents getting drawn away by the huge waves. You start going 'Oh God, NooOOOoOOO!!!' and blaming things on yourself and start feeling sorry. You don;t stop for a second to think, that there was a reason He let you live, that you were not flushed along with them.

A car crashed into you. You're paralyzed for life. You blame the world, every part of it, because you're jealous, because they can do what you cannot. You don;t stop for a second to wonder, to be tahnkful, to think of the million other things that MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED instead, worst things.

I'm wayyy over my head here. But the thing is this. Why is it that some people want to start feeling sorry, because someone else is stronger, better, more powerful? You were born with a reason, and that reason is to live. We humans, are selfish. We always are. We start to think, IF ONLY I HAD THAT< IF ONLY I HAD THIS. Why do you think kids watch spiderman over and over again? Because he fights bad guys and theres no more crime and the world is at peace? Yeah that might be the case in the early 1970s, but its no longer about humanity and what it means anymore. Its all about the glory, the superstrength. Oh if only I could climb walls, I wont be late for work. Oh, if only I could fly, I could save on airline tickets.

Adults are no better. Oh, if only I had that new Mitsubishi, I would give anything for it. Oh, if only I had a bigger house, then I won;t have to wake up and bump my head on my brother's top bunk every morning.

We're selfish, and this selfishness leads to greed, anger, wrath, lust and envy. Because we want things for ourselves. Because we want it all, we want the best.



So the next time you think you are weak. THink about this. A strong man who can lift a mountain, serves no purpose, if he wishes to move mountains for mere pleasure of the eye. The prettiest of damsels, is a mere distraction, if her beauty is all that she poses, and that is all she wishes others to see.

We are strong, when we can have the courage to give what we have, however little, to people who need them. We are stronger, when people know what you need, and they start giving back. And we are strongest, if all of us could have done the same damn thing to each other. Because then, they will be no more weak people in this world anymore.

So if you think you are weak, you are not. You never will be. Because you have something that others do not, however oblivious, however puny, insignificant to the eye. Because of this, you are unique, and that was why the gods played fair in the first place.

No one is weak. We are all strong in our own ways. It when you start to be jealous, and you want what others have, that the whole damn systems fails.

We live in the year 2010. Sad to say, it already has.

'Yea... we're all weak. But I would give something away, if it meant it could make someone else stronger. That way, in very pecliar ways, I find myself becoming stronger. Its a funny world the Gods made, and its by these funny rules that we shall play.'
