I recently stumbled upon an alternative video to one of my favorite songs of late: Viva La Vida
Although not as cinematographically stunning, I somehow prefer it to the other, actor-focused video. I especially enjoyed how Chris Martin, playing the deposed king in the song, turns and smiles as he sees his bandmates humming together behind him, knowing that as abandoned as he feels, some people still do follow him.
This small segment at the end truly emphasized in me the value of encouragement. At times, even the most determined fighters lose their motivation, their drive to continue the faith. As one who has felt the humiliating sting of falling from grace (as I am sure everyone else has at one point), I know that there is nothing like a kind word of encouragement to lift my spirits and keep me on the straight and narrow, reminding me that that for which I fight is indeed well worth fighting for.
Oh, and eat your heart out, Burger King.
