The Word Cloud

It's such a simple word, stand, and yet its meanings can be many.

To stand up from sitting.

To hold ground.

To defend belief.

Stand up. Stand firm. They're displayed as such honorable and noteworthy actions. Yet, though we stand for belief, for faith, for truth, for honesty, for peace, the opposition against us is great.

It seems that everywhere one turns when standing, someone tries hard to push them back down. To conform them to the 'reality' of the world. The debate becomes a contest, to see who can stand stronger and find out where truth lies and lies are the truth.

Does this make the stubborn right and the meek wrong?

Do the ones who back down end up being at fault?

Or is it those who show the wisdom to back away from a conflict to prepare for the next, who understand the truth that no one sees? The meanings that few grasp?

Stand firm.

Stand wise.

Stand for truth above the lies.

Stand for the searching of the knowledge of the truth, rather than the destruction of the truth someone might have known.

For it is the pursuit of truth that drives us on. The desire to know and to discover all that there is to offer. Do no destroy the dream, but rather build the foundations of a curious mind, constantly delving into the questions or truth and lie.

Stand tall for the searchers, for the wonderers, and the dreamers, for what knowledge do we truly possess? Speculations and dreams.

So spur one another toward the pursuit, rather than choosing a side, for it is in these dreams that some truth may reside.
