In order to deserve, we must pay our dues and steadily work for perfection. We must relish in struggle, and relinquish pride. We must dispel fear and seek enlightenment. We must shun division and honor love. We must know our hearts and seek to understand others. We must try, live, create, feel, grow and love.

there is no meaning to life. thousands of years of civilization, people waisting their lives and dying for a belief, a cause, or in search of fame and fortune all for nothing. Why do we slave at our jobs day after day in an effort to make something of ourselves when we know nothing will come of it? Why do we spend our lives doing something we hate; asking questions we know there arn't answers to? why dont we spend the time we're given with the people we love, doing the things we love?
