Burning Hammer

      Sometimes, all you can do is push through and hope that life's forces reward you for persevering. There isn't always a way for you to overcome. Laying down to die isn't always an alternative at your disposal. More often than not in life, I have learned you just have to stand as strong as you can while life pummels you with a plethora of little abuses or one big hammer. There isn't always a better way. "You live and you learn"; a philosophical way of saying you get out of the situation any way you can with your self intact and hope that next time there will be the slightest window for you to escape from. Justice is not promised; very often in the modern day it is not even clearly decipherable.

      There are times you just have to shut up; stand down and take what's coming.

       In the end, isn't that what faith is all about?
