What is it that we love?

When what we love is threatened, then we will fight. Then we should fight. We should not remain passive when the person, belief, or country that we love is threatened.

I fight to test. No team, no army, no idea, no belief is solid until tested against others. I fight to strengthen. It is only through the fight that weakness is found, and it is only when weakness is found can it be addressed. I fight to purify. The fight is the fire that brings impurities to the surface so they can be skimmed off and discarded. When I was young, I fought over everything. As I grow older, I fight for those precious few things that have survived the fights over the years. What I fear. What I love love. What I prioritize. All are born of the fight, of what survives the fight.

Why do we love who we love?

We see forever in their eyes because there was never a time we didn't know them.
