Legacy's blog: "fight against the masses"

"I see the demons in my soul that urge me to be like the rest, but then I see the potential in people to do good to the rest, driving me to motivate the rest, to show them they are blessed." -Legacy

What determines a man..... Strength, leadership, passion, loyalty, compassion, love, and sometimes fear. A life born to a circumstance unknown to him. A life that has the potential to see happiness. A child scorn for the color of his skin, the size of his eyes, and even the size of his waist. As the child grows to the body of his teens, eyes start to see someone that has always been there. Flattery...starts to change his path, as he views what seems to be the friends that everyone wants. A life becomes comsumed by oneself. A life in the midst of others, becomes a world of one. One life that is fill with hate, pain, payback, envy, disloyality, and loss. A child becomes a man as a piece is taken from his life. The world that was built is lost, as the light dims. Grains fall without meaning, and as a grain becomes a mound the only thing that changes are the people around you. And those same people that have seen your back more than your face, are by your side. And a realization that life must go on, and a strength emerges. A strength and courage not to be afraid of life, and what, or who it may throw at you. A life of humility, and honor build the eventual man. A man that's destiny is unknown but met with determination. A life becomes more than just himself, but is filled with those that have changed him, and those that he has changed. -AjC This is a disclaimer...I am not so self absorbed that I refer to myself in the third person. I just felt like writing it like that.

Was the world one big tragedy? Roaming through the shadows of traveled roads Starving for a hope fulfilled, a dream that touches your hand. Motivation through the clarity of geniune thought, of what must be done No tragedy will deter the will of man, if in his heart he believes it must be done. -Ajc

Sub: The only way not to hurt...is to not give a fuck. I have often felt the same thing. I have tried to live my life as a giving individual, and although I have seen many hardship arise out of this mentality I will never regret it. It may seem illogical to continue to act or think in a certain manner when you are constantly taken advantage of. However I have come to an understanding. I understand that it is not the nature of the perspective or mentality that instigates cruelty or disrespect, it is the way that we present ourselves that gets us what we receive. I always asked myself why these people take advantage of the situation and me when they don't have to. The simple answer is, because they can. It happens because they are presented with a situation where they can do what they like and not suffer any consequences. It happens because I show them all the cards, and they get to pick from the bunch. It happens because we offer them an opportunity that many would not refuse. i admit that it is easier just to not give a fuck. But is anyone really worth that much? Is anybody so influential in my life that I will let them change the person that I am. No. I will not change myself or my nature because I am taken advantage of. What i will do is this, I will never let that same person get one ounce of anything from me. I will teach all of the people around me that if you take advantage of a situation I will not judge you. But I will destroy you if you bring it to me. I hope that this helps you to see that good people are faced with these kinds of problems everyday. And just because there are assholes out there that will take advantage, cheat, lie , and steal. There are also people out there that will not take advantage, that will be honest, and will be there for you...and not only that but will be sincere. To love takes courage. I pray that you will have the courage to find the one that you deserve.
