We have to make strong alliances in this life. Too often we claim to be happy knowing full well that we are half of what we can be simply because of the company we keep. It may seem like we are happy to those on the outside, but all the real battles occur within. Taking that first step in socializing ourselves to those that can be of some benefit to us is paramount. However, we must be sincere with our rhetoric. We must establish and maintain alliances in order to move forward, to get the edge, to make our lives happen.
