The Bride of Brave Men

Mercy, the only request of a cornered man, is sought most by the person who makes an insincere attempt. The brave man, who is committed to his cause like water to ocean, never fails. He may face occasional hiccups in his path. These hiccups are more common in the early stages of the fight. As the fight progresses and as the resolve strengthens, the hiccups reduce both in frequency and in torment.
The beginning of any work, more so of a fight, is the most difficult. Only a strong heart and a kind mind can withstood the sting of the indecisive path experienced at the beginning. The strong heart bears all frustrations and still bustles with joy. The kind mind ensures that the salt in the comments of passerby is not taken seriously. The brave man fights and fights every battle as if it were the last of his life. He fights to win. Even if caught unaware or if cheated by fate or friends, he seeks no mercy. Till he gets a chance, which he is sure is destined to come, he moves assured basking in the belief that at the end of the journey victory shall be his bride.
