Fight

Given the choice, most of us would prefer a life free from discord. Whether we
like it or not, no one can go through life without some sort of confrontation or
difference of opinion. The people who interact with us become our adversaries
at some point in the relationship. Some of us like the fight, just to feel the passion
that can come into play as the battle intensifies. Some battles become so intense
that the emotional scars last a lifetime, whether we have won or lost. No one can
win at battles every time, so defeat and victory are both included in the packages
that we carry with us through life.

When you are prepared to fight and defend the things you believe in, you
make a credible candidate for spiritual growth. You need to believe in some
power higher than yourself and be prepared to be a soldier in any army that
defends the basic rule of a good life: treat others in the way you would like
to be treated. With that kind of commitment, you would be helping to make
the world a better place.
