Welcome to my blog: Resistance

Hi! and welcome to my blog: Resistance.

I'm nearing the end of the novel, Atlas Shrugged, and have to admit that while it is long, it is a very good read. It's kind of like finding all the words you want to say already written down. I found myself reading about a character that comes to the realization that everything she believed had been a lie, and the hopelessness that she descends into:

There is no place to go...--I can't stand still, nor move much longer--I can neither work nor rest--I can neither surrender nor fight--but this...this is what they want of me, this is where they want me--neither living nor dead, neither thinking nor insane, but just a chunk of pulp that screams with fear, to be shaped by them as they please, they who have no shape of their own.

I have been where this young woman was, but instead of losing hope (as her character does) I chose to fight the powers that be (PTB's). And when moments of despair hit me...after wallowing in self pity for a while...I say a prayer and put my trust in God. For me, the knowledge that there is a power greater than my own (and those of the elite powers) who has already told us the outcome, and has already won the victory gives me great peace in my heart.

So my thought and prayer to all reading this is NOT to let THEM shape you, but let your intuition, your knowledge, and your faith shape who you are and who you become. ...While they may control the world they do not control you or me. Don't ever give them that power.
