Hm... Today, I will put a lot of question marks on your forehead with this post.
So lets start a story telling. Its imaginary one again, do not fear ;)
Its been 2-3 years yet the battle is still on going..
The 2 kingdoms have been fighting so vigorously for the past few years, with none looking to give up the battle. But it is obvious that one kingdom is stronger than the other. Yet the weaker one refuses to give in. Instead, he stands up and fight for it!! Fighting for 2-3 years yet none wants to give in to the other, it shows the amount of desire both sides have, don't you think?
As a neutral, you will be just waiting for the stronger, more experienced kingdom to win wouldn't you? But I have wondered about the weaker one.
The amount of times the King will question himself whether it is worth it to continue fighting. Resources are constantly depleting for the weaker nation. The stronger nation constantly has new weapons, new tactics. Perhaps its due the vast experience it has, or other reasons. But it does not diminish the fact that the weaker nation is up against the Goliath. The King, he constantly question if it is worth it to continue fighting. The more he continues the fight, the more resources that were meant for other stuff are being used. And it could lead to dire consequences if he over allocates some resources into the battle. So he question himself, but everything he thinks he should pull out, he can't bare to lose what is at stake. If he gives up, he gives up something he really wants.
Hm.. So as the battle rages on, the more his resources deplete and the more he considers whether to give in. Yet, we know that he won't simply because he considers giving up now a real waste. He has fought a hard and difficult battle. He can see that he is on the back-foot, and he has been on the back-foot for most of the battle. I find it really amazing how this one man is driven by desire, by determination and he continues to fight on, fight a battle many people will deem as a losing battle for him. Just this phrase, "When you feel like giving up, look back at how far you have come."
So how does he press on, what enables to press on? Well, I believe from all that was written, you can see he is driven by desire. The love for that thing, and constant desire for that thing is what has been driving him. So what are his hopes?
They are simple. It is simply to win. To be victorious, to finally win. He hopes this battle will be concluded soon because there were come a day when he has to admit that he has got no more firepower to muster another attack nor even defend his kingdom one day. But he hopes then when its concluded, it will be him and his kingdom celebrating!
But as long as the battle is still raging, there is no way he will be giving up. There is no way that he will lighten up his efforts. Yes, he may need to look into the needs of other things, divert his attention to them, but lets admit it, losing focus of his goal will be something that perhaps he will never forgive himself. It will be an uphill battle, one that he promises to fight on.
*Hoped you enjoy the story, might not be well written, but interpret in your own ways bah :)*
