Unquenchable fire.

“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”
Mohandas Gandhi

I often find myself watching many people walk by me. In my town, at my job and on my street. Every one of those people have unlimited potential I believe. What they spend it on is absolutely up to them.

“With the bombs used in World War II, they had an explosive yield equivalent to 21 kt of TNT. About 1 kg of the approximately 6.15 kg of plutonium in each of these bombs fissioned into lighter elements totaling almost exactly one gram less, after cooling [The heat, light, and electromagnetic radiation released in this explosion carried the missing one gram of mass.][6] This occurs because nuclear binding energy is released whenever elements with more than 62 nucleons fission. one gram of matter converted to energy produces an explosion the size of the one that destroyed Nagasaki. A 150-pound person has 68,000 grams. One person contains enough energy to destroy every city of any size on Earth.”

If the above statement is true, human beings contain power beyond what most can imagine. All of the above math does not even use the most powerful tool a human has to offer, his mind.

If all of this is true, I believe that people are the most unstoppable force that I have ever been blessed to see. We were not given wings, yet we fly. We were not given gills, yet we swim. We were born on earth, yet we have gone where no other things on earth will ever go. We were not given claws or sharp teeth, yet we kill and devour. We were not given body made glues or the strength to move boulders, yet we build towers and turn mountains into dust.

You have the power of enough energy to turn a continent into glass, you have a mind capable absorbing more information than any computer in existence, however what of your will?

With all of this, with these gifts, with these abilities. The only thing stopping us, from earning every single thing we want, every single thing we want to change, stopping everything we hate, is our will, is our focus.

We are an unquenchable fire. I suppose the only question is what will we ignite?

 

P.S. Granted the last line of this blog is kinda lame. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do and by that I mean sometimes you have to say a lame line in order to make the name (that you thought of before the blog) fit.
