powerless and no-win scenarios

I've been thinking lately about how powerless i really am. How powerless i am to help people in need. How powerless i am to help the people i love most. How powerless i am to make those around me happy. How powerless i am to save things that i love. I feel so powerless. Even in arguments, i feel powerless, like i have no say in things or that i can't do anything but accept it even though it hurts. I feel as if i've been stripped of having choices, plainly powerless.

I watched Star Trek a few days ago, and something that happened to Spock left me speechless. A man who lost most of what was dear to him couldn't do anything because he was powerless. Some things are just beyond our control. They say "there's always a choice" but is that really true? What if there's no other choice? What if we can't do anything and it's a so called no-win scenario? This is where the difference of being powerless and believing in having choices coincide. Are we really powerless at times? Even if we cannot control the situation, is there nothing more we can do?

Maybe sometimes there is, and sometimes there isn't. I just have to not believe in no-win scenarios just as Captain James Tiberius Kirk has influenced Mr. Spock that there's always a choice, there's always a way to win. Unless it's dealing with death i guess. But i'd rather go on my whole life believing that there will always be a choice and that we always have a way if we have the will. We can do what we want. I ain't giving up just yet on anything i love or want. I'm going to soar high and be more than i can be.

Whatever people say, i've decided to never lose hope and to do all that i can do. I will not be powerless but neither will i try to control everything. I will simply do whatever i can to the best of my abilities and not give up. I will win, and if ever i lose, then i will try and try again. I won't give up that easily :).
