perseverence and hope

on the way to work this morning, i listen to linkin park.. in one of the song they say..

with hands held high into the sky so blue, as the ocean opens up to swallow you...

quite a simplistic lyrics but so much to tell in one sentence.

it quickly tells the story of mankind's struggle in this ever so judgemental world that we have created; man with hopes and dreams; thinking that there's so much to achieve and so many opportunity lies above them but as they slowly trying to reach for the sky, the real world eats them slowly, and all of a sudden when they realize it, its all too late to do anything.

there's that danger in all developing nation, people trying to balance out aspirations and realities. you try too hard, you'll get resentment and frustration, you don't try, you'll get left behind.

but then again, as napoleon says, victory belongs to the most persevering.
