"To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet."
-Charles Caleb Colton
how true is that? It is not true in all cases. But with a lot of my life, i would rather take my demons on out in the open. Then be forced to deal with them on a more personal level. And sometimes the best way to over come something. Is to look it in the eyes when you are most vulnerable. This brings to mind the strength in numbers sayings. That strategy does work at times. But you cannot face everything with your group of closest friends standing next to you for 24 hours a day. At times you will have no other choice except to stand up and meet the demons at the gate to your soul. It is at that point that you have to decide. You can crumble away and let what ever it is overcome you. Or you can fight it to the death. It is that point in a persons life that will help define who you are. Its what you do when faced with something new or something challenging. Its the way you act when a friend needs your help. Its the feelings you have when you watch the news. It is how you react. How you respond. Its what makes us human.
