Our realm grows more dystopian with each passing day. I prefer to call it a realm because the idea of a planet seems childish and silly. A spinning ball in space? Give me a break, people.
So, as the choice of paths that lie in front of us dwindles more and more with each passing day, the only path left becomes inevitable. Some of us are going to have to fight to survive.
The real question is.. what happens then?

Choice
When tyranny knocks on your door, what will you choose?
I certainly hope you choose wisely, my friends, because the choice will be a simple one. Either die on your feet or live on your knees.
This will sadly become a grim reality, one from which none of us can escape. We will absolutely face this, one way or another.
I can promise you this much, at least, that if you succumb to the demons demands, you won’t live very long and your life will be a living nightmare. One from which you’ll be unable to wake up from.
Whether or not you believe it might happen is pretty much irrelevant. No matter where you choose to plant your toes in the sand, for most of us, this forced choice has already happened in its infant form. Just the first of many atrocities to follow.
A year ago, we were given the heavy-handed coercion into taking the jabs. Some of us resisted with impunity, yet, many others unfortunately did not.
What was that if not the choice between liberty or tyranny?
Compromise
What happens when the bad times arrive? Well, we do the best we can in the face of adversity, but we must be smart about our choices.
As Ayn Rand said, “In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.” I absolutely believe in this. It’s a truism.
I’ve fought these kinds of battles my whole life, the choices posed when tyranny comes a knocking on our doors. Compromise or fight back? Always the same and by never compromising, I’ve learned where to plant each footfall, how to navigate the coming storms.
My bumpy past has toughened me up, if you will.
It has turned out to be a good thing.
“There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction.”
– Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness
I fight monsters and with each new battle, I carry into it a sword and a shield. These are my only weapons, but they’re more than enough.
My sword is my belief in my own abilities, my true sense of self. My shield is an even simpler one: I never give up my sword.
If I err in my assessment, then the battle ends poorly. Simple logic. Thankfully, so far, I’ve managed to soldier on, survive long enough to fight another day (obviously, since here I still am). I’ve learned from my mistakes, adopted better practices and beliefs as time marches on, but I never compromise.
I trust in my own abilities and work each day to grown stronger, smarter and hopefully a bit wiser. These are my principles.
With the coming storm just over the horizon, I thought I’d share these ideas and see what you guys think. Comments are always welcomed.

Have a great day, do with it what you will!
