Problem is intimation that we are alive and is hinting that you are to overcome the obstacle, 'come what may.' because you can. Remember, you are given the wisdom to navigate and realise your dreams. Life is all about how you deal with it:- 'Violence begets violence;' "Retribution often means that we eventually do to ourselves what we have done unto others. Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, blood and revenge are hammering in my head. To seek greatness through honest peaceful means is the only righteous vengeance." All that I have left to share is this little piece to motivate you to be at peace and to fly high; and ultimately reach the sky, 'because you can!' Strife to be phenomenal not forgotten.
