My Greatest Fear...
Im enlisting on Friday and frankly, though i seem to be unperturbed on the surface, the truth is that ive been having many nagging thoughts.
Im not worried about the physical rigours of army life, nor am i troubled by the prospect of being bound to an 'organisation'(can u even call the army that???) for the next two years of my life.
No, my greatest fear is from within.
Ive seen how people change over the course of time. How conflicts and setbacks have hardened people's hearts, how people react to different situations by adjusting accordingly. It's human nature; a product of the evolutionary process. We adapt to survive. Not that changing for the better is bad, it's just that ive witnessed too many people veering towards the other end of the spectrum.
Army life will be a whole new ball game. And as all games go, it will defintely have its share of obstacles and roadblocks. What im worried about, is how ill react to these challenges. Will i emerge in two years time as a completely different person? Even then, will i like how ive become? The prospect of such potentially imminent change is really scary.
Only time will tell...
