Let's Start a Riot

"Riot" - Three Days Grace

Running yourself into a brick wall will not bring the wall down. At the very most a hole may be made but the wall is still there, and you have taken a great amount of damage (unless you are the Hulk, which I am not). If the wall is keeping you from something, of course it is difficult to stop working on bringing the wall down with your bear hands (or face). As a human race, or pretty much any race for that matter, we want what we want. To learn enough self discipline to learn to ignore those selfish desires is quite a task. Even the best of the self-disclipined don't realize what they are doing until they are already bloodied and broken. The wall is there for a reason, either to keep you out or to protect you from whatever is outside of the wall. Trying to get on the other side of the wall is, therefore, not a good thing. If we do manage, by some miracle to take the wall down by ourselves, we are no longer out of harms way. We are no longer sheltered and protected from the wrath outside of the wall. Either way, no matter what you do, trying to break the wall or bypass it, pain ensues. The only way to avoid the pain is to stop, let go. Relinquish the need to break through and learn to enjoy life in harmony with the wall. It sounds weird, but think of the wall as a form of odd decor in the living room of your life. (Philosophy at it's finest.)
