That means that no tribe can beat our awesomeness. We are the best. We will defeat any enemy that comes our way and threatens to hurt our tribe! We scalp 'em Seminoles!!! F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E! Florida State, Florida State, Florida State....WOOOOOHHH! Do you see my unconquered spirit here?!?!
But sometimes it's hard to have an unconquered spirit when I am trying to climb up that daggum hill behind Diffenbaugh (the Department of Modern Languages). It's really steep and my pansy little legs don't exactly enjoy the trek. Now, climbing down the hill after I get out of my French and Spanish classes is easy cheesy! It just comes natural, and I reckon you can credit that to how gravity pulls you down. But climbing up, now that's rough, and gravity is acting against you.
As I was climbing up that stupid hill today, I realized that this stupid hill is like life. It's so much easier to go down than go up. Knowing myself and knowing who I am inside, it's so much harder to do the right thing than do the wrong thing. I have my sinful nature (gravity) that's always working against the person I want to be. Know what I also noticed? Walking up that hill hurts my legs. In the same way, if I'm living in a way that doesn't hurt me or cost me anything, then I question if I'm really doing the right thing.
Maybe I'm not so unconquered as I thought :(
