Young Writers Society

What is the bravest action man could take upon himself? Society calls it "a selfless act". Though, why selfless? Does a selfless man see more in others? Or does a selfish person only see himself? A man selfless is just as brainless as a selfish person is arrogant. One must find a balance. See, it's easy to get caught up in the wind of society. Do not act out of line and you may live your life as you wish, be respected even. Does that make an arrogant person different and brave? To think only of others is humble indeed, but to cost of thyself, is it really worth it?

See, people who sold their souls for the merit of the public aren't seen as humble. Whereas people who hold on to their own ideas and never substitutes are seen as solid.

Does the bravest thing man could do, mean radicality? Left becomes right, up is down and selfless people start acting selfish, vice versa.

It is perhaps the balance that we seek that is so hard to reach. Society is a library. Man can select any book he likes, by any author, about any theme, in any genre. Think about any shelf, aisle, section and library that man could choose from. Every book alike with it's neighbour, though never the same. It is the middle of the library that is unattractive. The very point of one's own wisdom, surrounded by attractions, distractions.

Perhaps the most unattractive thing man finds is the bravest thing man could choose.
