Creation made you an original. You saw, perceived and did
things, your own way. But your parents had their vision for your life, because
they thought, they knew best. It never occurred to them that, making you a copy
of someone else, can’t be better than the original you. And the urge in people
trying to change you, never stopped.
Now your boss, spouse, church, mosque, friends and even the
family next door, all have their ideas of how you should live your life. They
all want to make you, a copy of themselves. What about your own originality?
What about your own vision for your own life? What do you want? Why must you
continue to live with the stress of their demands?
They have never and will never care for what you want or
what is really good for you; because no one can tell, the way you feel at any
given time. In trying to break you, they ask, “Who do you think you are?” But
you don’t have to think who you are, because you know who you are, the
original. Everything about you is uniquely you; including your looks, your
feelings and your love. To compromise your originality, is to live a lie and at
the risk of your well-being.
A brother said, “The shafts of mockery and sarcasm CANNOT
pierce the Strong Amour of the Self Reliant Man. In fact, they can’t reach the
"Invincible" Citadel of his honest heart to sting or wound it. Yes,
the mundane, the uninformed and deformed may throw sharp arrows of irony upon
the self-reliant man, but he will just laugh as the arrows are deflected by the
"strong breast plate" of his confidence as it falls harmless about
and around him.”
What makes a man a man, is not the apologetic views he
offers, but his deep resonated conviction about the kind of life he wants to
live.
No Great Man, Lives to Please Others with His Views, His
Beliefs, His Convictions. Great Men, Men of Grace and Distinction Are Often
Found Walking Alone. They Live in a World of Their Own, a World of Significance
and Not of Pity, and Acquiescence. They Are Rules Breakers and Non Conformists.
