Although there are times when that hope is taken away from him , one way or another . When his determination cannot endure the endless pain . But he has , and will , survive . He continues to walk , the flame of his heart , revealing the long path he chooses to walk that extends beyond the horizon into infinity . And all for what ? What could be promised at the end of his journey ? What could be so compelling as to push him to his mental and physical limits ? The answer to this , he does not know . All he wishes for is to be complete .
And if I were to ask him , “ Why do you continue to push yourself through all this ?” He would look at me with a sad smile and pitiful eyes that speak for themselves as if to say , “ Accepting everything as it is , will make you happier than being unsatisfied for all your life .”
