Great Spirit

I have been in the Army for a year now. By this time, i would say that most people have already got used to the way this organisation works no matter how positive or negative their individual experiences may be. Along the way, we get assimilated. Some of our values that define us were eroded, having being subjected to the strong influential moulding of the Army. Surely, one of the symptoms of this phenomenon that manifest itself can be said to be the "gradual debilitation" of our own ability to perceive, judge and act. These three key processes to me, represent the rudimentary ability of the human brain, the cornerstone of so many other highly credible capabilities of the brain.

It is worth lamenting but i guess it's inevitable. It seems impossible to struggle outright against this as much as we are helpless against the primordial laws of nature, set in place, rigid but dogmatic. We have come to gain much in the body, piling on the brawn but i can't help but feel that the mind is hollowing out itself, slowly but surely. It is as if a worm was surreptitiously placed within the temporal lobes and allowed to gnaw itself out slowly. It is disturbing, a process that must be reversed at all imaginable costs.

It is probable that only the spirit has emerged unscathed from the carnage. Amidst the chaos ignited by the forceful assimilation, the spirit has proven to be unwavering and incorruptible. I have discovered to my ardent surprise that my spirit of competition has never once died. It rages on all this while, proving to be unassailable. The spirit can never be defeated no matter how battered the body becomes. It is solely on the borrowed strength of my spirit that i have managed to will myself to hobble out this remaining journey of uncertainty.

The Organisation shall never tarnish my spirit.
