Most of us go through life and jump from one thing to the other. Some go from one party to another while some from one fight to another. Neither is healthy. To muse is to think and by adding an "a" in front of the word muse, "amuse" it means not to think, and that ain't good to stay in that mode. Like musing, being amused can be good or bad... the too much of a good thing ain't good no more scenario. On the other hand, musing battles is a totally different thing, it is good but when done in moderation.
For most of us life has battles we don't get to choose, and then some we do. Choose them well. Choose them educated. I get emails and sometimes phone calls from people all the time with battles. On Facebook now the going thing is signing up for a cause, and some are good. Some I will sign up on, but most I don't. If you sign up on anything, know the playing field. Nothing looks worse for a group than people who sign up for something with no background knowledge of it, and nothing can do more harm than that. Care2 site is loaded with battles, but you mostly see the ones that have the power or money to back them up. That does not mean they are correct or right by any standards and sometimes they are worded so that one signs a battle on the wrong side. I've seen that happen when Monsanto has Think Tanks mislead the public, and they are one of several.
Add to that the personal battles each day, and the plate to full, the cup over flows. Sad it is like that but it is what it is. The world can only change as long as people change, and it starts in the mirror. Sometimes the worst villain and the biggest challenge faces us in the mirror each day. You can no more change me than I you, but we can change ourselves. Life will have, for most of us, plenty enough battles on a personal level. Battles for liberty, freedom... those are worth fighting for, yet they will escape us if we do not start in the mirror. How many people battle for these, then go out and participate in Black Friday, or Cyber Monday? Corporations are only affected by sales and market, so we cannot oppose them while putting money in their pockets. We want free enterprise yet support multinational corporations that stop free markets into the ground by buying the label. There are horse equipment lines, clothing lines, vehicles, you name it... that we pay higher for the name, when they are all made from the same manufacturer. The specs are the same, the only difference is the label, and we fall for it.
But now I go off topic again, so back to the topic. In your short life span there will be battles you cannot pick. Hard battles that will bring you to your knees. There are battles you will fight for both you and your children and future generations' hopes. We fight battles every second to chose from good or evil. We see those around who fight the same battle. Learn what you fight for because I guarantee the force you will fight against has. The most thing though is to live life and enjoy those peaceful times between battles. Fight with the heart of a lion yet be as calm as a lamb.
