Shine Bright Like a Diamond

He had been abused and trampled upon for a long time by people he thought were his friends. All his dreams were at risk of crashing. He would have thrown in the towel a long time ago had it not been for his children. One look at their innocent and hopeful faces and he re-doubles his efforts. "I will be damned if this movie repeats itself for another generation", he says to himself. So he keeps on laboring, keeps on pushing with a force that can literally move mountains. The wheels of the Universe respond to his incredible magnetism; the odds of success move from impossible to unavoidable without even stopping at improbable.

Many philosophers have speculated on the will. Why is it that some people keep going whole others fold like plastic chairs. We are all divine, but where we differ is the environment we operate in, as well as in our starting point. The soul is the accumulated longing of the "I" that had to sign up for this movie for eons. Under extreme heat and pressure coal turns into a diamond that is beautiful to behold. Sufferance is meaningless and should be avoided period. But when you are faced with unavoidable pressure cooker situations what else can you do but dive right in and create the beautiful diamond you are born to be.
