When is it time to give up? Is it when it is when you no longer hold any desire to continue or is it when the thing you desire is no longer there? Is it when you've forgotten what you want or is it when you realize the thing you want never existed?

If we were to give up at every trough, at every fall then where would that take us? It would leave the world as a story of perfect records and stories of quitters - stories of desertion.

Hope is what heroes hold. Hope is what heroes fight for. And it is the role of each and every hero to find hope where it cannot be seen. It is up to each and every hero to smell the scent of victory through the stench of defeat. It is up to each and every hero to fight and strive when all else have fallen.

It is also up to each and every person to become a hero. It is not a trait which is hereditary nor is it bestowed upon someone. It is a status that a person can choose to take. A style of life. Perhaps...my style of life.
