My friend
asked me the other day, “What do you live for?”
You see, we were in a theological discussion at the time and I had told
him that what I believe differs from his beliefs. Upon finding that I did not have the same
idea of God that he does, he asked me that question. I didn’t have the words to tell him that
night. So this is for you. This is what I live for.
A man named
Robert Cody once said, “Have courage to live.
Anyone can die.” I live for my
potential, my dreams. I live for what I
can be, how I can change the world. I live to do something with my life, to truly be alive. I
told him I live for my family, my dog.
But I am selfish. They can
survive without me. I live for my future
and what I want to accomplish. I want to
make a change; what I see today disgusts me.
We live in steel cages. We avert
our eyes from the sight of the poor. Our
government is corrupt and lying. But
we...we are naïve, blindfolded, and trusting as a newborn. I want to open the world’s eyes. I want to show you everything. But I don’t know how. I live to find out how. I live for Freedom. For Justice.
For Truth. I live for open eyes.
