Personal Consideration

By chance wisdom befalls you, to challenge the beliefs in adherence to society, do not falter to take it for its worth; to study the faults and the truths by your own measure regardless of outward influence. This ideal is nothing save your right of independence, of mind and of virtue. The rough of truth may be found in the most adverse ideologies, in the most frowned upon notions. Through the stance of minority many things may be lost, and may be of importance to a person of anxious mind. Fear of stance, respect, ownership, and lost attachments; the very regular foundations of what is held of value in life is more than enough to batter and bruise, or merely persuade an unlike mind into submission.

What do you lose in the process, however?

Change is slow in movement, yet can accelerate in leaps and bounds. In our seemingly complex culture, nothing is simple. The wisdom of this is both basic and intricately woven, with weighty repercussions. To be right and scrupulous to your center processes, you must ask yourself if you believe in what is presented to you, whether original in design or set forth by another, and then study if you have any hesitance in the purity of its logic. If no semblance of hesitance is met with your study, and such logic is solidified and uncompromised, do you not have a duty to your very nature to stand by that ideal unconditionally, without wavering fidelity? For the sake of your independence, for the sake of your rights, and for what you stand for.

If one cannot do so, how much does it erode his nature? After a while does such hypocrisy still his qualms? Is it eased or go by unnoticed by time and of practice? If through that abandonment of personal ideals, a person settles with fortune in its various forms, will happiness be found there – or through that sacrifice would that person find that they had corrupted it?

 There is pain, loss, and resentment with all of life’s hard decisions. What is fair and what is right are often the harder decisions to be made, or merely rests as that which cannot be quantified. Or is not considered relevant by the societal environs. But what you lose when you decide not to sacrifice for that difficult task may prove all the more taxing, making one ill with irrevocable regret, personal disenchantment and lack of fulfillment. It all comes down to what you consider important, free from the scrutiny of conditional constraint. Even adhering to your morals does not always bode well, and does not guarantee any benefits in the event’s final chapter.
