The Battle - I’d Rather Be David

Battles.  We all fight them.  Sometimes they're just the minor things that are a natural part of the day-in and day-out living of our lives.  Sometimes they're unspeakably brutal and unexplainably savage, making no sense as to why they're happening.  Battles can sometimes be something more of a minor irritant, or they can be something that leaves our lives in flames, cinders and ash.  At times we battle people, we battle circumstances, we battle society, we battle injustices, or we battle within ourselves.  Either way, we all fight battles.

But how do we fight them?  Do we fight them just to survive them?  Do we choose not to fight and opt to surrender as the easiest course of action?  Do we fight them by playing the victim and therefore not really fight them at all?  Do we have someone else fight our battles for whatever reason we have them fight them?  Battles will come as they are a natural part of our existence.  But how will we fight them?  And how much does that choice dictate the outcome that we will live with?
