In the essence of life, there is an endless desire and a force of resistance. From infancy, our endless desires face obstacles, and we fight to keep them. For example, when we need to stop breastfeeding, we resist and cry as babies. In this situation, a pacifier is given to compromise, but eventually, we need to stop using it as well. We might pretend to stop using it while still using it secretly, or we might quietly give up our desire to eat as a form of protest. We encounter countless conflicts like this, and express our resistance and protest in various ways. 

How do you resist and protest?

A curious mind, living with a passion for learning and discovery

In some ways my introversion may be a form of resistance. Hiding myself to maintain myself. To keep from being whittled away and polished. It's hard to attack what can't be seen.

Like a quiet but strong resistance. Mine is through avoidance. In the story we grow up in, we all seem to find ways to cope.
