"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."-
Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi said a lot good things and I think I intend to make this quote a staple of my life but I run into a problem. I do not have a specific codified set of values from which to found my will. I think this may in part be that I'm a teenager and that my core values have yet to solidify in any particular way. But even aside from that I need a cause something to make my driving goal, and when I look around these days I can find very few causes worth dying for and none worth living for. I don't know what strength means to me any more and maybe that is not important but there is still that hero thing I can't seem to get over. Curse you oh romantic youth, that you should twist my thoughts into idealized visions and grandiose plans.
