“
For so many years I lived in constant terror of myself. Doubt had married my fear and moved into my mind, where it built castles and ruled kingdoms and reigned over me, bowing my will to its whispers until I was little more than an acquiescing peon, too terrified to disobey, too terrified to disagree. I had been shackled, a prisoner in my own mind.
But finally, finally, I have learned to break free.

Today the word "hero" has been diminished. confused with "celebrity." But in my father's generation the word meant something.
celebrities seek fame. They take actions to get attention. Most often, the actions they take have no particular moral content. Heroes are heroes because they have risked something to help others. Their actions involve courage. Often, those heroes have been indifferent to the public's attention. But at least, the hero could understand the focus of the emotion.

And thus when by poetyr or wehn by music the most entrancing of the poetic moods we find ourselves melted into tears, we weep then not as the abbate gravina supposes through excess of pleasure but through a certain petulatn impatient sorrow at our inability to grasp no wholly here on earth at once and forever these divein and rapturous joys of which through the poem or through the music we attain to but brief and indeterminate glimpses.
The struggle to apprehend the supernal loveliness this struggle on the part of souls fittingly constituted has given to the world all that which it (the world) has ever been enabled at once to understand and to feel as peotic
whose distant footsteps echo down the corridors of time
The impression left is one of pleasurable sadness.
This certain taint of sadness is insperably connected with al the higher manifestations of true beauty . It is nevertheless.
Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem.
Melancholy is thus the most legitimate of all the poetical tones.
The next desideratum was a pretext for the continous use of the one word nevermore.in observing the difficutly which i at once found in inventing a suffiecienly plausible reason for its continuous repetition i did not fail to preceive thta this difficutly arose solely form the pre assumption that the world was to be so continuously or monotonously spoke by a human being i did not fail to perceive in shor t that the difficulty lay in the reconciliation of this monotony with the exercise of reason on the part of the creature repeating the word here then immediately arose the idea of a non-reasoning creature capable of speech and very naturally a parrot in the first instance suggested itself but was superseded forthwith by a raven as equally capable of speech and infinitely more in keeping with the intended tone.“I had now gone so far as the conception of a
Raven, the bird of ill-omen, monotonously repeating the one word
"Nevermore" at the conclusion of each stanza in a poem of
melancholy tone, and in length about one hundred lines. Now, never
losing sight of the object _supremeness_ or perfection at all
points, I asked myself--"Of all melancholy topics what, according
to the _universal_ understanding of mankind, is the _most_
melancholy?" Death, was the obvious reply. "And when," I said, "is
this most melancholy of topics most poetical?" From what I have
already explained at some length, the answer here also is
obvious--"When it most closely allies itself to _Beauty_; the
death, then, of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most
poetical topic in the world, and equally is it beyond doubt that
the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved
lover.

After walking up one of the steepest streets in the Village of Überlingen, I found Herr Graf at the municipal hospital and was shocked to see how severe his burns were. He was in a dreadful state and obviously appeared to be in great pain. Although his heavy woolen police uniform had warded off burns to his body, his face and hands were badly scorched. The hospital was understaffed for the number of casualties they had to care for, so he asked me if I could come to feed and care for him occasionally. Of course I agreed, even though I knew that for each visit I would have to trudge up the same very long steep hill to get there. Seeing him suffering and in such pain, I felt that this was the least I could do; besides I was now moving into his apartment…. With great difficulty he handed me the key and asked if I could try to locate his teenage son, who had most likely been captured by the Allies. On the way back, my reward was that it was downhill with a beautiful view of the distant Alps. Besides, it was a much easier walk!

આજ ના આ કઠિન સમયે તારે લડવું તો પડશે જ દોસ્ત ..... બધા ને પ્રોબ્લેમ છે .... તું એકલો નથી જેને પ્રોબ્લેમ છે .... બધા ને છે અને બધા લડી જ રહ્યા છે ..... કૌન કોની જોડે અને કઈ વસ્તુ માટે અને કઈ રીતે એ કદાચ તને ના દેખાય પણ .... લાડીતો રહ્યા જ છે બધા.
હવે સવાલ એ છે કે કરવા નું શુ ????? આ બધી પળોજણ માં ???? શુ કોઈ તરત રસ્તો છે ? કંઈક છે એવું જે હાલ ને હાલ બધું સીધું કરી દે અને તું છૂટો થઇ જાય
તો એનો જવાબ છે .....ના ..... હવે એમ વિચાર કરીયે પહેલા કે અહીંયા પહોંચ્યા કઇરીતે .... આ બધા લોચા નું મૂળ કારણ શુ ... તો મારા ભાઈ કે બહેન નીચે ના ચાર માં થી તમે એક કર્યું છે. આ બધા જ પ્રોબ્લેમ માં કારણભૂત છે એ પછી - પૈસા હોય, સબંધો હોય કે પછી શરીર હોય. (વિત્તીય હોય, માનસિક હોય કે શારીરિક )
1. સ્વચ્છન્દતા - જેમ ફાવ્યું એમ કરી નાખ્યું કોઈ દિવસ શુ પરિણામ આવશે એનો કોઈ વિચાર કર્યો જ નહિ, અને હવે ફસાયા નો ભાવ આવી ગયો
2. ભાવુકતા - ભાવાવેશમા કોઈક ની સાથે ચાલી નીકળ્યા, એ વિચાર ના કર્યો કે ભાઈ એનું શુ ગજું છે અને તારી શુ વિશાત છે ? હવે ફસાયા ?
3. મોટાયી (મોટપણું) - કોઈ સ્વાર્થી ના ચડાવે ચડી ગયા ચણા ના ઝાડ પર હવે ઉપર તો આવી ગયા નીચે કઈ રીતે જાસુ ? નુકશાન કોણ ભરશે ?
4. આળસાઈ - તમને મળેલ બધી પરિસ્થિતઃ માં તમે એદી બની આળસાઈ કરી, મહેનત કરવાની હતી તમે જલસા કર્યા, હવે ભરો બેસી ને
હવે તમે કેસો કે ભાઈ અમે આ બધું કેમ સાંભળ્યા કરીયે મૂળ મુદ્દા પર એવો આનો નિવેડો લાવો
તો ભાઈ કે બહેન તમે જે પણ પ્રોબ્લેમ માં હોવ એના આ ત્રણ જ રસ્તા છે
1. સ્વીકાર - સહુ પહેલા બધા જ પ્રોબ્લેમ નો સંપૂર્ણપણે સ્વીકાર કરો કે પ્રોબ્લેમ છે અને બધાની જવાબદારી તમારી જ છે ભલે ને સામે વાળા ની કેમ ના હોય
2. વિચાર - પછી બેસી ને લિસ્ટ બનાવો વિચારો કે ક્યાં પ્રકાર ના પ્રોબ્લેમ સૌ થી વધારે ત્રાસ આપનારા છે. દરેક ને ત્રણ ખાનામાં નાખી દો. 1. વધુ ત્રાસ 2. ઓછો ત્રાસ 3. ત્રાસ
3. અમલ - આ સહુથી મુશ્કિલ કાર્ય છે .... ઉપર ના બે તો તમે કહેશો કે અમને ખબર છે. તો અમલ કરવા માટે ત્રણ વસ્તુ કરો 1. કોઈ એવા નવા વ્યક્તિ ને શોધો જેના પર તમે વિશ્વાસ કરી શકો, હા ધ્યાન એ રાખો કે જે પ્રોબ્લેમ છે (વિત્તીય હોય, માનસિક હોય કે શારીરિક) એ પણ એ જ કેટેગરી માં ના હોવો જોઈએ. એટલેકે જો વિત્તીય પ્રોબ્લેમ હોય તો એ વ્યકતિ વ્યવસાયિક રીતે તમારી જોડે ના જોડાયેલો હોવો જોઈએ. 2. તમારો પોતાનો પ્લાન અને એ વિશ્વાશું માણસ નો પ્લાન માપો શુ થઇ શકે છે અને શુ નહિ એના પર વિચાર કરો, તમે શુ કર્યું એ સાચું કહો, શુ કરીશકો છો એના કરતા 25% ઓછું આંકો. ક્યાં ક્યાં પ્રોબ્લેમ આવી શકે એ વધારે લિસ્ટ કરો. અપને કઈ સુપરમેન નથી કે જે કરશુ એ બધું એક દમ સીધું પડી જશે. એટલે 5 બીજા રસ્તા ઓછા માં ઓછા રાખો. 3. પોતાના પર વિશ્વાશ રાખો, ગભરાઈ ના જાવ, પરિસ્થી છે તો હતાશ થવા ની જરૂર નથી. કોઈ ને વિશ્વાસ ના હોય પ્રભુ ને છે તમારા પર એટલો જ વિચાર કરો. સહુ પેલા પેટ ભરી જમો, થોડી વાર બધું બાજુ મૂકી તમારા મન અને તન ને આરામ આપો. તમારું તન અને મન શાંત થશે તો રસ્તો આપોઆપ નીકળશે. થોડા વિસામા પછી બધું નવેસર થી સારું કરો, બધા નો આભાર માનો પહેલા, નિયતિ અને મહેનત થી બધું પાર પાડવા નો સંકલ્પ લો, આળસને છોડી દો.
હજારો અને લાખો ઉદાહરણ છે સમાજ માં કે જેમાં બધું ફરી થી પ્રાપ્ત થયું છે. વિત્તીય હોય કે સબંધો અને શરીર પણ સુધાર્યા છે.

To be a Master of Change one must accept that like their own mortality it is inevitable. Such a Warrior must embrace Change and have the courage to recognize that it is not the enemy but rather an essential alley to the evolution of the human condition as well as the preservation of their immortal soul.

“
So often human nature centers their ambitions on what was lost that they do not realize in their present moment just being there is like a fragile flower opening to the warmth of spring. Take heart and think of such warmth regardless of the current weather.

“
Grief is weird. Some days I can go hours without thinking about the fact that he’s gone. It wasn’t like that the first couple of months. It just changes one day, and you don’t even realize how it happened. It sneaks up so quietly, this invisible barrier that slowly stretches out the amount of time between those thoughts. And then you go, oh yeah, I’m still really sad about this

We will follow where you lead
We will follow if you
Show the way

You and your pity don't fit in my bed
You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed
And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed
How long? How long? How long?
[PERSEPHONE]
How long? Just as long as I am your wife
It's true the earth must die
But then the earth comes back to life
And the sun must go on rising
[HADES and PERSEPHONE]
And how does the sun even fit in the sky?
It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky
And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky
How long? How long? How long?

Why do we turn away instead of standing with him?
Oh, keep your head-
Why are we digging our own graves for a living?
Oh, keep your head-
If we're free
Tell me why
We can't even stand upright?
If we're free
Tell me when
We can stand with our fellow man
Keep your head-

If you want to see change you need to be willing to enter parts of your mind that you don’t want to.
”

“
In order to become who you want to be, you have to determine what you want to stand for, what you stand against, and what you are willing to sacrifice and endure to get there.

“
Why do you hold back? Is it fear? Fear of what, losing, being judged, pain? All things on earth are temporary. Don’t leave this world in regret.
”
”
Matthew D. Devitt
“
Fear will make a weak man hide, while a strong man will stand up and face his fear.
Pain will make a weak man cry, while a strong man will carry his scars with honor.
Envy will make a weak man jealous, while a strong man will work even harder to reach his goals.
Anger will consume a weak man, while a strong man will calm himself before he acts.
DON’T BE WEAK.

“
Many people think progress is a contest climb upwards… But it’s not. On your journey you’ll fall, you’ll make mistakes, and you may even become lost. But to a winner none of that matters. If you fall you can climb back up. If you make a mistake you’ll learn from it. If you become lost you’ll find your way back.

Just because you aren't a slave doesn't mean you're necessarily free.

This just gives us more motivation to keep going. To clean out the trash of society and not only free our people, but do our part to help rectify the wrongdoings that happen on this planet.

“
Undo the hurt you wrought upon my kind, bring back the humans you've killed. Give my species the life they deserved to live, and treat us like your equals instead of looking down at us like we're nothing more than trash. Then I'll spare your life.

Matthew D. Devitt (The Quest for Freedom (The Conquest Trilogy, #1))
“
If you think I'm going to stand down and be suppressed by you just because you have more power, then you're damn wrong. I won't stop until I'm dead or I've won, and if that means going to war with you, well, I'm already prepared for that.

Matthew D. Devitt (The Quest for Freedom (The Conquest Trilogy, #1))

I don't care how hard it might be or how much the odds are stacked against me. I'd rather die a free man, or at least perish while trying, than live as a slave.
