Positioning

I could build a wall. Keep it all out. Hide. Never expose myself to anything beyond my front door. Stay on the inside. Lose touch deliberately. Avoid polluting myself. Make them my enemy. Making a stand "against" the world.

-or-

I could rush out the front door. Forsake everything I believe. Dive in with both feet and never look back. Become like everyone else. Becoming "of" my world.

-or-

I could try to conquer it. Waltz out the front door and demand that the world change to accommodate me. Demand that everyone line up their perspectives with mine. Rally supporters who will further my cause. Try to rule from "above" the world.

-or-

Just sit here on my butt. Confused. Not knowing what to do. Stay in, or go out? Lose-Lose situation. Stay inactive by default. Paradox unresolved.

-or-

Stick to my guns AND go out. Dare to engage, yet still remain true to who I am. Learning their language, while speaking the truth. Caring, not controlling. Finding out, not fearing. Helping, not hating. Meeting, not maligning. Dialogue, not indoctrination. Going out, not selling out.

Transform my world...one small piece at a time.
