The world is not a square. This simple truth has opened up so much for me. It has felt like I have been fighting out of a corner my entire life. I’ve even pushed myself to go harder when I felt like I was being dug into that corner. But the world is not a square. And this simple statement has shattered the world that I once believed I was living in. Now, there is no corner for me to fight out of because, well, there aren’t any corners in our world that is not a square. If I’m not fighting out of a corner, then where does my motivation come from? My answer is the same answer that I believe the entire world would have if they ask themselves what is right. We must be motivated by helping our brothers and our sisters prosper. We must look out for one another and protect each other from the evils of this world. If we all look out for one another, then there is no problem with the shape of our world. The world is not a square.
