At some point in time, we have to answer
one important question to ourselves, and that is, what does each of us stand for?
This introspection is most important for those who don't have a perspective or
have not explored this within themselves.
We don't realize that our self esteem
largely depends on this. When you don't take a stand or your stand is that you
don't want to take a stand at all is when you are divided into several people
within yourselves, each saying a different thing and initiating a perpetual tug
of war.
To live meaningfully, it is essential to
live by a set of rules, ideologies, norms and goals which determine and define
YOU. So, when you are not happy or taking your identity from how others
perceive you, you have yet to come into your own.
The idea is not to get swept away by the
tide but to use resistance so as to stand upright even around quick sands and
when to resist and how much to resist is the evidence of a dawning wisdom and
of standing in your own space with conviction.
