a life to leave or to take?
If ignorance means being free from the never ending commotion
Then, i rather chose to be an imbecile, a stupid bird who try to fly in the pond full of water or walk over under a bottle of fire.
If being blind from the truth will give us a better day to live in,
Then I would rather be blind for the whole time of my existence, than to suffer from too much hardship that this world may give.
But life is battle that we need to chase, in order to win we need to go beyond our limit and fight for what is right.
For patronizing the mistakes and wrong deeds will just lead to a life full of burden and sacrifices, where evils arises from the heaven they made that deeply hurting us from the wound they planted in our soul.
