“Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.”
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965)

Wolverine is one of the greatest characters ever. This is not a comic book nerd rant either. Just think about this: He’s is good at serving ass whuppings. He is entire being is focused on his survival. He will heal and he will get better. With this in his mind he can leap into situations with abandon and fight as hard as he can…he can take the pain, provided he achieves his goal. Even if he should fail he gives it his all. That must be true freedom. Especially considering that even in times when he was weak or he might not have healed he still put his body and life on the line to accomplish something. That’s how I feel now, having fully expressed my self in regards to my work situation. I can take the pain because I will heal, so no matter what obstacle may come I’ll throw myself at it. I remember things I’ve said in the past and knowing that I can just live those words brings me a happiness I have not had in a long time. The way I figure the whole situation, jobs are like jail. After a while you just wish for freedom without expecting it. It just becomes habit. You think about the bills that keep you there. You think about things you want to do. It’s when you realize that you’ve lost and left jobs in the past and found others, that you can really do as you please. When you can say with no restriction, “I don’t give a fuck.” That’s freedom. Now lot’s of people say it…but when you feel it it’s truly a beautiful thing. When you recall that things fall apart all the time and you are still in one piece, it’s like cussing someone out and being totally in the right. I feel light. Or better yet I feel like Wolvie. I may be nicked and scratched, but I know it will work out so I can just look to where I want to be and go there. I can ignore any pain from this point on and thereby negate it. To go Prince of Denmark, I have taken arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing them they have ended. No more debate, no more struggle. Just my conviction and the will to carry it forth.
