Stand Up and Fight

We are all soldiers. We fight hidden enemies that come from the future. The problems stay there at the end of the bed to say good morning every day. Every new problem is the next enemy that needs different weapons to fight. And when the day finishes, most times the glory belongs to us. We have survived and we are alive. "If something doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger" You get the weapons to exterminate it the next time that it comes. The life makes soldiers, everyone separate, fighting a different enemy. The ally that we have is our past. Our history always teaches us how to fight and to the end of our life the experiences make us veterans. We have collected many weapons to give to the next generations. We are all soldiers of life. We have all the same purpose. To survive. And we fight, all of us, our biggest enemy…time.
