The Fighter

Why do we fight? What is it that is worth fighting for? What is the value of fighting? Do we need to fight? Do we know what we are fighting for? Are we a fighter?

We are all fighters. Since the day we are born and the day we learn to walk and speak, we are already fighting. Until now, we are still struggling to achieve our dreams, our goals. Some of us are victorious and some had failed. Others continue to fight, but some prefer to give up. You will always have to choose, but before choosing make sure you can handle the consequences you might encounter. I am not scaring you, but rather I am getting you packed up for your future.

Allow me tell you a story of a good fighter. His name is Alvin, a great man and a soldier. He is a simple man but he is a man that will stand for what he believes and will never give up just to tell everyone that he is worth it. All his life, he had been fighting hard to win his battles and he achieved it. There are times his soldiers will fall behind and get hurt during the battle, but as their leader, he will always return back to carry them behind his back. His soldiers look up to him and idolized him. They know that as long as he is there, they are in safe hands. He had achieved their trust and respect.

However, he is currently facing another battle, but this is not just an ordinary battle. This is a battle that will require him a long patience, a strong mind, a tough heart and a stable body. He needs to survive this battle; even it could take a long time. Sadly, He had lost most of his soldiers. Their enemy is so strong which they didn’t expect. As days pass by, they continue to decline in numbers. His soldiers told him that they need to surrender because they think they could not make it through this one. But still, he didn’t listen. Most of his soldiers ran away from the battle to save their souls but he continues to fight. Days continue to pass and he is losing hope, he had exhausted all his strength, he is hungry, and he is tired. He is crying because of pain and suffering. Can he survive this battle? Is he going to continue?

Those who stayed with him continue to encourage him to fight and never give up. They believe in him and they know that he can finish and win this one. They will never leave him for he never leaves them. They are willing to wait even it might take forever. This becomes his reason to stand up and to finish what he started. Because he knows that he is never alone. He is a fighter, a hero to everyone and he won’t easily give up.

Remember my friends, we are all fighters. We may sometimes want to give up but remember that you are not alone in your battles. Be like Alvin, he continues to fight and stand for those who believes in him. Have faith in God and you will be surprised that you had won any battles you face. You might be defeated at the end but at least you didn’t give up. You are born in this world for a reason and so be strong and FIGHT. So let me end this by giving you a quote by George Patton, “Better to fight for something than live for nothing.”
