Humans are amphibians.
Some of us are Olympic swimmers. Big fish. They win gold medals in life's pool with every swing of their powerful minds.
Others merely float aimlessly on the surface waiting for something to happen, lazily letting the current take them wherever it pleases it.
Passively waiting for the perfect alignment of stars.
But life is a constant struggle, survival of the fittest.
In the very beginning...
You fight for your first breath.
You fight for your health.
You fight for your ideals.
For respect.
For your country.
For your grades, for the seat on the bus, for the best slice of meat on the table.
For 9-17 mind-numbing job and a steady income.
For a steady income without a 9-17 mind-numbing job.
For just the perfect size of those shoes on sale.
For the love of your life.
For your children.
For the rightfully deserved early morning gossip and pigeon-feeding pensioner's bench in the park.
In the very end...
You fight for your last breath.
