If you knew you were covered in fresh steak and walking into a cage filled with lions....
If you knew your life would never be the same..
Would you step in the cage?
If you still had a heart beat when "it" was over...
If "it" was ever over..
Would you give it all away?
Would you take a stand when everyone is sitting down... and tells you not too?
When they tell you, "You need to be quiet, sit nicely, play the game, be happy with what you have"...What about your job, what about your life, what about your stuff... Or...
Self Preservation?
If you knew it was the right thing to do...
You stand...Because fear is NOT an option... You stand knowing that if nothing else (even you) is left when the dust has cleared... Not one thing...
You and whatever "spirit" belonged to you did what was right...
The moral compass points me home...
My life was only worth living if it is an honorable one.

We were all taught as children to do the right thing, be kind, "have courage of your convictions".
Somewhere many of us get off track, lose our way.
We try to accommodate people to "not make waves". We settle.
It takes courage to stand and be counted. If more people did and opposed the wrong in the world, we would all be in a better place.
And guess what? You have friends to stand with you. Many friends that will stand and be counted.
