For a second time I saw the movie “2012” and like the first time, I cried through some scenes (while some might find this pathetic …I don’t). the movie portrayed the world coming to an end or something like that, but I was more struck by the destruction and how people bravely faced death and how others refused to give up the fight. Now I can hear you grumbling unimpressed and saying “wake up tiwa, its just 3-D effect”; don’t worry that’s not my final destination.

So in the latter part of the movie, a quote is given as “the moment we stop fighting is the moment…”, pardon me but I didn’t pay attention to the concluding part because my mind already had what it wanted and was already concluding it as “… is the moment we stop believing, which is the moment we start dying” (harsh? yea I know). Just a day ago, I heard someone refer to the world as a whole big fight where to get what we wanted we had to fight real hard for it, so you can see why all my thoughts seem to be about fighting (not literarily though)

It seems to me though that to fight at all, you have to believe in the need to fight, which here and now is my point. All the time we hear these words like “we all can be who we want to, if only we believe and we all can get whatever we want; money, power even love, if only we can fight for it”, you know sometimes it sounds like wishful thoughts, but the fact is its true, and besides whoever said wishful thoughts were harmful. I know what I want (even if I have to go through numerous routes or draw up a thousand plans) and am never going to loose sight of it and I think you shouldn’t too, cos the moment you do is the moment you loose the zeal to fight and the moment you stop fighting is the moment … (am leaving that to you)

Besides if we were to stop fighting now, then it would have all been for what?, if we were to quit now, what would we tell our kids?, if we were to give up now, how would generations unborn know we were here?, and if we were to stop fighting now, how would we be able to beat our chest and say I DID IT!!! (Not undermining God definitely). Join me in this solemn pledge saying “I pledge this day never to quit on my dreams, never to quit on myself, never to quit on my world, never to give up the fight”, cos when we stop fighting, the story enndddssssssssss!!!
