But still like air, I'll rise!

“You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.”
-Maya Angelou

It's how perfectly these few lines tell us what we've been wondering all our lives. It's not how many complications or difficulties block your way, it's just how you rise above them all. Don't mistake this for optimism. It's real. It's the reality we all fear to face although we do know that one day or the other it'll face us and then, there won't be a choice but to face it too.
