In a time of crisis do we run around aimlessly crying "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" ! or do we take a stand, say 'enough is enough', and claim back what is ours, take back our freedom, take back control.
Are we going to allow fear and loathing to control us, will we lie down like dogs and cower in the corner, tails between our legs ?!
The only way I see us winning this war, is by standing tall and saying 'heck no, I am not going to take no more', I am not going to cower in a corner, I am not going to stay away out of fear, be that from the mall, a movie, a ball game, or my job. If I have to die, then so be it, but I will not be cowed, I will not be broken, I will not succumb. I will get up and do my job, I will live my life, I will play my games, I will ride my bike, I will live my life, I will be a soldier in my own life, I will not abandon my post, I will not let my fellow citizens down.
The coming weeks and months are going to severely test us. We are going to have to steel ourselves, fight the insecurities, doubts and inner demons, and we will have to overcome and stand tall, I am not prepared to accept anything less.
Today, this weekend, let us remember those who have lost their lives, take time out with those we love, console those who have lost friends, family, those who are shaken and have lost confidence.
Next week ... we fight !
