a story in progress

If our beliefs and actions are defined by our values, what are we when we act upon only to realize that they aren't align to others? Will it be seen as an selfish, bigoted act with ill intent? A most challenging act would be to balance oneself precariously on a thin line of faith trying to fulfill one's values as well as catering to the values of others.

It would be really nice to take a small break once in awhile. Away from all the paradox of juggling and not compromising. The thought of being back home. In my bed. Or catching up on the familiarities, friends and food is a comforting thought indeed.

But then again, at the back of it all, the same precarious act of constant balancing between values will forever more be around. At least for the next one term.

Until that last day of the term, I have to be a fighter. Holding on to my fort.
