There is no greater weapon than devotion

Life doesn't always give simple choices. In ways we are challenged by life on a daily basis. It is a challenge to keep doing the same work every day, maintain a hobby with limited time and resources, for many it is a challenge to get out of bed early in the morning every single day. Again and again, routine kills a little bit of motivation to manage the routine. But we keep going, day after day, rinse and repeat.

Situations life brings us to are never easy, instead they can be demoralizing, devastating, deprived of joy. Some difficulties are hurled at us by our own actions, some are hurled by the lives of others. But no matter the problems, no matter the difficulties, no matter the challenges... the places life brings us to are places where we can learn. About life, the Universe, about yourself and others, about the laws of life, whether they are written or not, about everything. And that keeps us going.

For we are a curious race. We put a man on the Moon not because it was simple but because it was difficult. We harnessed the power of electricity to have lightbulbs so we can learn during the night. We created a process by which we can get electricity from a reaction on the atomic level. Humans have achieved a lot through stubbornness, laziness and war. Just as with life, bad things have come with great discoveries, good discoveries have had bad consequences. Human history is marked in waves of success and failure, of grandieur and slop, of harmony and noise.

As is the life of every individual on this beautiful planet. We all get out highs and lows. We keep going on the highs to postpone the lows, keep pushing through the lows for we know we will yet experience highs. And at every step we learn. About ourselves, about others, about the world around us. And we keep running in out giant hamster wheels.

For we are a curious race. We yearn to learn, we get excited by puzzles, we anticipate questions. Each of us have different questions to answer, some about love, some about life. But after all the pondering and searching we can come up with a single truth, a single thing to take for granted. We are one. And we keep pondering and searching to the best of our abilities.

For we are a curious race.
