Stand up for your beliefs, promise you’ll have ears listening. You’ll attract attention but the wrong ones will appear too. You’ll be astonished at the amount of people that will bash you based on your opinions or beliefs. You might feel aggrieved but you’re powerless. The amount of people that will go out their way to make sure you don’t succeed. You’ll never be at ease. You’ll probably join the group of people protesting outside of a building but get shot down or beaten down by the guards. You’ll come across ignorant people and maybe a biased government. You did everything in your power to defend your words. You even tried to get others to see your perspective but you still ended up with a loss at the end.
