Have played Mortal Kombat before? Say that you're about beating up your opponent and you almost do that. Remember any 'last words' like "Finish Him!" on this game? Then seems like your opponent won't have any chances to get up and hit back that he will die as soon as you kick him or throw him into a big grinder.
Have you ever watched Tekken 3 on the movie? Jin Kazama was on a fight with his 'real' father (even though his father didn't consider Kazama as his son). Kazama was hit repeatedly and yeah he was so much in pain (don't ask about that). His father was about killing him in several seconds, and Kazama laid on the floor powerlessly. But guess what, he got up and hit his father back. Kazama was still alive! What made him so strong that he could beat his father?
Faith and Hope
I remember a story told by my teacher about a black bat living on a tree in a village. It's told that there was a house of a family who had a huge tree in their front yard. And there was a bat living on that tree. People living in that village believed that bats shouldn't be around them because they would bring calamities for their life. Someday, the house owner found the bat sleep-hanging on a branch that afternoon. He was scared and asked for people's help to cast the bat out. Then, a large number of people suddenly came to his house yard and tried everything to harass the bat's peaceful dream. A stone, two stones, three stones, finally a stone hit the bat and the bat fell down to the ground. The bat was harassed and defended himself by covering his body with both of his wings. He tried to run away from the shots. Then, a man brought his rifle to shoot the bat to death. He shot the bat and then the bat looked extremely miserable. He kept trying to fly and run but people kept hitting and shooting him. The bat must had tried to fly although his wings were hurt that finally the bat died.
A wisdom I got from the story that I still remember until today, and make it as my guide whenever I feel so down. Believe that whenever you're trapped or cornered and you presume that you won't have any chances to get up, solve the problem and trash it out, you still have a power in yourself to get up. I see how miserable the bat was but he kept trying and trying to run away and fly. We will never know the result, but we still have a power even just a little to stand up and face it. I'd been so depressed before that I couldn't think and kept mourning, but soon I realized that I had a little power to reach a shining ray that would help me out from the bad dream.
You're falling from the seventh sky, you're about hitting the ground that you predict yourself to death. You have nothing to think but die and you have nothing to do because you know that you'll pass away in several minutes. But hey, who knows.. There's someone who has put a big mattress down there so when you're about 5 meters from the ground, you're just about falling on that comfy mattress.
Miracle is true, buddies!
