A Price to Pay

Misfortunes lead by conflict 

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”

— Winston Churchill

        The lengths in which one would go only pertains to the result. ‘The Sniper’ showed me the contingencies of war, and the limits in which the ideals held in the constituting of reputations can be impelled in one’s life. Though, as simple as it sounds, two sides in contention with one another, to the point in which war is waged. This simplistic condensation, does not begin to harbor the magnitude and the implications of war in ones life. The horrors of war can make one question the most cardinal of beliefs; war strips away from the congealed layers in which substantiated your verdict before it toys with its foundation.

An Unexpected Love

"Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
     That for thy right myself will bear all wrong."
~William Shakespeare 

        The beauty within is always masked by the facade. The Gift of the Magi reminded me that behind every book, there is a story to be told; no matter how old it is, the story transcends the aspect of time, and the meaning behind the words resonate with you. The Gift of the Magi, as unappealing it sounded to a reader like myself. As antique as the story portrayed itself to me, has inspired me to detour from my old ways of judging a book. This book told me a story, using language that I couldn't comprehend, plot that I couldn't follow, and it intertwines the whole scheme and moral together like a nicely knit sweater.
