"There are men who fight one day, and they are good. There are others who fight a year, and they are better. There are those who fight several years, and they are very good. But there are those who fight all their lives, those are indispensable."
I always say...someone has it harder...or, it could be worse...
However...
I think it is important for each person to validate their own pain, and understand it is a part of thier own understanding within themselves... People tend to belittle thier own feelings because of being taught they have no real self worth.. This is a devastating thing to do. Not only does the person feel they have no worth in comparison...but, later on, when all that push away stuff comes back (and, it will) it is much harder to get through. Especially since this get deep seated and hooked into the pscyhy.(sp)
If you interpret the verse literally. Fighting for pugilist reasons is none of the above.
And the above taken emotionally will still come back to when and where.
If you do it wrong you will still be on your own more knocked about and more defeated.
Every fight must be started by one; the more that join the fight shows how much emotion is stirred by that stand. But fighting is not good. Justice is good and that is found through understanding.
I thought of this poem because today i was so messed up at my job, and i let all my frustration out in front of me boss. And he told me u know what Miguel u r here in this country fighting as hell because u chose it. And the worst u can do is quiting now when u r so close to achieve ur goals, u just need two semesters to be done with school and u will leave the shop, and u'll go to work in an office with a better wage and evertyhing And he told me don't freaking quit on me and u now, u r indispensable for urself, And suddenly i remember this poem
