Choose

There comes a time in every life when you have to decide what or whom you will live for. Some live and die for their country with patriotic ideals to protect family and fellow countrymen. Others live only for themselves in a state of pride and self-importance, usually stemming from deeply rooted insecurity. I choose to live for love, to do whatever I can to make the world a better place within my realm of personal influence no matter what it costs me or what sacrifices I must make along the way. The choice is set before all of mankind: to live in the light, according to the laws of peace and truth or to live in the dark, where there is death and destruction, hopelessness and despair. Any time we choose to hide from the beams of light that may expose our deepest secrets and impure desires, we choose death by default for light and darkness cannot occupy the same space.
