Protect

After watching another episode of Kekkeishi, something hit me hard. I felt like I just awoke from a long dozy dream. Just like any other Japanese Anime or Mangas, they really get a guy's testosterone going. Its same with almost every series. If by now you didn't catch the juice of the theme, then you are not very observant all the while are you?

In every series, the main character is always started small and powerless. The community around them is harsh, does not matter in any way, and they need to stay strong to survive.

Same goes in life. I have many important things in my life. Up till now, I did not realize they exist. Well, maybe sometimes I realised they exist, put a little effort in preserving their entire existence. Never gave enough of it though. Most of them, are, frankly speaking, harvested in my younger days. Now I know I'm not that old to talk about younger days, but, it made point. I've been lazy and worthless in the recent years. I've never put my complete effort into anything. Not creating anything worth protecting. What I don't realise was, I already had precious things that I was suppose to be protecting from.

My education, kinda represents my strength. You know why? Because in this community power is everything. The rich, the fame, the controls, the influence all derives from power. And, it is also this power that protects anything that's important to any person. That is why successful people are always powerful and they are, well, most of the time contended. In my life, I realised that, power comes to me in the form of knowledge, in other words my academics. It is with these knowledge then do people recognize us. Most people around us talks about friendship, loyalty, relationships, all sound absurd to me now. It is the power to protect what they desire that drives them to say these words.

Whats important to me is my friends, my love life. My fame, my fortune, it is these that I desire the most. I never did much to protect my friends, they usually protect me in return. I only relied on them when I am in trouble. Never lend a helping hand to them when they're in need. I never really pursue my loved one. I never had the guts to tell her I love her, show her I love her, and prove to her that I love her. All I ever did was talk! Like now. And my career, needless to mention, I am in a terrible condition now.

I need to become stronger I told myself. So, study is important after all. And I hope that I am not lying to myself this time. There's little that one can achieve with limited knowledge. You can't even protect the ones that you loved. I despise myself for that. And now that its too late to go back, I can only work hard to stop everything I had leaving me.

It is the power to protects, that forces people to change, and, surpass themselves and do the impossible. Thats what makes thing possible.
