Fight and flight, part of life,
Fear not, faint not,
As frightening it may sound.
Fierce is not a way to live,
But fierce we must,
when we need to be.
F for Fight, flight, fear, faint, frightening and fierce.
Written for A to Z April 2015 Challenge.

Amen to needing to be fierce sometimes! I have been relearning that in the last month or so. Somehow I’d lost track of it.. Complacency?

Yeah, true. We should save our ferocity for things that matter, apart from the battles that we choose wisely…like fighting fiercely for a cause, a belief/value. Well written Vinitha 🙂

True words. We should choose our fights selectively. Its not worth being fierce and fighting every issue and cause. Sometimes we just have to let go.
