challenge

challenge pushes us forward. it drive us. easy things provide the comfort of getting them fast, of fulfilling the immediate need or desire. but once that need is no more, what's left? there was no fight for anything, no conquest, no sense of accomplishment. there is discovery, but it fades away too fast. no, easy things are seldom worth getting. we need more. we need to be compelled. to be pushed. to dare the odds. to despair. to wage war. to feel, in the end, that it was worth everything, and that we'd do it all again if needed.
