I'll Follow You into the Dark

"If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs, if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, then I'll follow you into the dark."  While the majority of us do our best to live optimistic lives, there will always be a handful that choose to do the opposite.  We should always be on the lookout for the pessimists of the world, because converting the mindsets of these people will result in a win-win situation.  They win because they can now enjoy the meaning of life, and we win because we have the satisfaction of knowing that we made a difference.  So the next time you hear your friend saying, "I don't care about anything because there's no reason to care.  There are too many times that things have fallen apart for me,  therefore, I just don't care about anything anymore", remind he/she that this will get he/she absolutely nowhere.  It will send people down windy roads with sketchy scenery and a lot of trash and there is nothing beautiful about that.  The beauty in life comes from motivation, accomplishment, love, and most importantly, strength.  We must always have motivation, because otherwise nothing would ever get done.  When we have motivation, we are productive, which leads us to the feeling of accomplishment.  Accomplishment leads us to the love that we receive from others and the love that we have for what we do, who we are, and who we're with.  Lastly, strength is the main source of life.  We must have the strength to fight through the good and the bad things that we come across every day, the strength to motivate ourselves, the strength to be proud of our accomplishments, and the strength to love each and every person, even the pessimists.  Chase after them into the darkness so that you may bring them into the light.
