If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it. ~Toni Morrison

this seemingly simplistic quote may seem as if it suggests that if you give up on life and just go in unison with the other people of the world, you will be just fine.
to me wind is an awesome force of natures. it can be devistatingly catastrophic or it can provide for a refreshingly cool breeze on a smoldering humid summers mid day.
i believe that this quote is just for those hard and troublesome times people have in thier own lives.
some are awe struck at the brute force of these "winds" of life. i have. and i doubt that you have not either. and for those who claim they have not, i do not envy you. i do not hate you either. what happens to us is half of what makes us who we are as people. the other half is how we deal with it. that is what i believe.
so, i think this quoote is better fit for someone lazier than myself. i do not dissagree with it entirely. i think this suggests a stand for giving up on things. i do not want to give up. i am a fighter. and what about you? do you fight for what you believe?
