"A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep." Game Of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
Our world is quiet brutal and destructive at times. Yes, there are times when it is soft and gentle but we can't deny what has happened throughout the course of our history.
But it isn't our world that is as vicious as the people who walk upon it. Every single time someone tries to rise there are thousands working against them to see that they fall. These individuals come out in hoards with the intent to sink their teeth into "the lights" back and tear him or her to shreds.
Unfortunately, our society is built upon trying to tear us apart from one another instead of bringing us together. We live in a day and age full of people who are able to hide behind their computer screens and comment on whatever they want without the consequences of saying it personally to ones face. The wolves run rampant in our world without much of an opposing force to quiet them down.
But it's time for a new generation of people who are willing to take a stand for others.
We are in need of a lion who can fight back based on principle and courage. We need a lion who has stepped into the arena time and time again and knows the great defeats and victories of life. We are in need of the person who is willing to step up for the greatness of others and who knows how to build themselves from the ashes of darkness.
The people of this world would finally have something to really root for.
Why is this important?
Because as a society we have lost our ability to believe in anything. It's not really our fault that every single time someone comes up in the world they fall for one reason or another. But if we have someone who understands that they aren't perfect and who doesn't attempt to be, couldn't that change the game?
This isn't going to be easy for those who take on this challenge. The great victories and defeats of life build these individuals though. They are morphed by their failures of the past and their grand ambitions. These are the people we need to bring the best out in our world.
It's time there are people who take a stand for something greater than themselves.
We need an ordinary man or woman ready to be completely extraordinary.
We need a new breed of everyday hero.
