Take the power back
This photo of a 106 year old Armenian woman guarding her home with a rifle is a constant source of inspiration to me.
It was taken in Goris in the Southern part of Armenia which is in dispute with Azerbaijan which also claims it as its own. It makes us all think about taking the power back in our own lives, no matter what age we are.
Steemit is but one small step on that path to a true decentralized power in our world of anarchy. No rifles required.
Enjoy the photo and "Steem on!"
That is quite a striking photo. I like what you present...taking power back. She strikes me as one who is also cemented in, defending what is rightfully hers, what she has staked her entire life upon, no one will take it from her.
They say the first 100 years of life are the hardest! This is all downhill for her now :)
Haha, absolutely true. She deserves a break :)
My grandpa told me that phrase! I loved it ... though he only made 93!!
Sounds like a cool dude! Did he own any guns? ;)
Fortunately he never needed them since WW2!
Looks like she has lots of life left in those eyes though!....approximately 16 hours worth.
I feel like she would pull the trigger and fall over, spraying everyone around her! jk.
I'm sorry for making fun...I just couldn't help it. You saw inspiration...I saw humor. At least we both gained something from it though.
Well played, old woman!
It's one of those powerful images you don't forget @meme.for.steem!!
Steem on!
Always @codyshafer! #steemhard :)
That's how it's done. Old school!
Old skool indeed @theoriginal - cool username BTW for this article! Thanks for the comment!!
I see a lot of my grandmother in her.
I thought you might say that Ale ;)
you are always too intelligent... it is frustrating!!!! :) No, I am very proud of my grandmother so much words can not tell.
Stay close by your rifle Ale!!
not only I stay close to that... but as you can see I am at 54! not age!!! :D
55 awaits thee .... :)
I steem on no matter what... delusions, rain, ... in name of anarchy, that and more than that!!!!
106 and still a steady enough hand to hold something. Deeply impressive. Sad though, that it has to be a gun instead of a grandchild
We must all defend against what we believe to be morally right @rymlen - a striking image indeed that you don't quickly forget!
