Acting authentically in the face of survival
#29
RE: Acting authentically in the face of survival
Well, if we're talking need, then I humbly suggest that a great deal of things you feel that you need money for are, in actuality, no such thing. More often than not it is our desire for money and the alternative money offers us, not so much an issue of need. You don't -need- money for food, you desire money for a specific type or amount of food. You do not -need- money for shelter, you desire money for a certain location or quality. If you insist upon dining somewhere other than the bank of a river or a dumpster, and do not feel the urge to live under a tarp, than you are, in fact, acting upon your wishes and desires as you tirelessly work in your shit job for the meager wages which afford you some semblance of luxury (comparative to the alternative).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
