what are you fighting for?

its a perfectly legitimate question. what are you fighting for? everyone's fighting for something right? so what is it that i'm fighting for? and are there any causes left to fight for?

i wonder sometimes what it is that i'm fighting for... not my purpose in life, everyone always wants to know what the meaning of life is... its to fight for something right? to make your mark... your imprint. to leave that impression of a smile in someones eyes... there are plenty of causes to join onto... great ones even: students for action in darfur... amnesty international... a civil rights movement... making the environment that much healthier... cures for epidemic and chronic diseases and cancer... friends of ibillin peace camp... there are thousands... these are all great, and they can infact help you on your fight...maybe you're seeking love... or acceptance... or revenge... or safety... but the question is... what is it that you're fighting for?

what is it that ignites my own fight?
i don't know. best answer i've been able to come up with. hope. i'm fighting for hope. hope for me... or you... for the children and adults battling disease and cancer... for the hungry children in 3rd world countries... for knowledge... or for reconciliation...
right now. thats it. thats all i've got. i've come up with hope.
maybe that's my fight. maybe there's something bigger out there. i don't know. but i know that its all not worth anything unless you're fighting for something.

so what is it that you're afraid of? and what is it that you're fighting for?
just some food for thought.

song of now: 'west indian girl -- what are you afraid of?'
