Draw a line in the sand and hand me my fiddle...

He who stands for nothing will fall for anything. And people who stand for something will often end up on the losing end of a sucker punch from another belief. And then there are those who just want to watch the world burn, like how Nero played the fiddle as Rome burned. They don't care who wins or loses, as long as the spectacle is entertaining.

So why should someone stand up for something if there is just as much pleasure to be found in "watching the world burn"? Why should we risk the chance that we fail? Because if we don't, then you lose. I'm not talking losing in the sense of temporary defeat. I'm talking you forfeit your right to complain about anything. If you don't have a side, how can you complain about the outcome? It's like those people who refuse to vote and then complain when a given candidate wins. How can you complain when you didn't have a side? Stand up for something. If you don't have a preference, who are you to complain in the outcome? Honestly, if you don't care about the campaigning, you clearly don't care about the outcome, and since you don't care about the outcome, you clearly feel as though you're simply impartial to anything that may happen. But you're not. Inherently, you have a belief deep down that you judge the outcome against. Your personal standard, if you will.

By judging everything against this standard, it stands to reason that you do care. You do give a shit, you just don't have the balls to stand up for it. While others are fighting for something they believe in, you just sit there, watching them. You willingly sell out your belief on the grounds that you think that you're impartial. Sell out your beliefs, I'll stand by what I believe in, and fight for it.

So I'll tell you what. You sit there and play your fiddle. I'll take some matches and start a few fires.
