Every so often, one person stands out, they are different, they do things differently. They are untouched by the garbage bins of this world but then they get thrown into the mix and they are no different than everyone that went before them. They essentially disappear.
Two Scenarios
Act 1 A baby is born into this world,
He/ She is a fresh mind and a brand new body; innocent and pure.
The years pass and so does their innocence and freshness, a few more years and they are just one other person in the world, no longer new and no longer cherished.
Act 2 A man goes into politics, eager to change the world.
At first he is pure, he has no liaisons and no obligations to fulfill to anyone other that those he seeks to lead and himself. His intentions are pure but he soon discovers that to even get a foot in the door, he has to soil himself a bit and when he does get that foot in, he needs to push against the grimy door to get in, touching all the mess that has been put on the door by people going in and out.
Then he gets in and finds that the door was the cleanest part of the building and if he is to get anything done, he has to go into the muck to fight for everything he came for.
Soon it stops being a fight for everything he came for and it becomes a fight to save his own life from the muck and when he does become steady and finds a foothold, he is thinking of nothing but keeping his place and ensuring that everyone he loves never has to fight like he has to.
Before you know it.... he is one with the mud.
Become the Flavor in the Mix
Although we always will be faced with this kind of challenge... we cannot become one with the mud.
Think of yourself like Vanilla flavor in cake or ice cream.
A lot of ingredients went into the mix but in the end, Vanilla is the mostly perceived ingredient.
That's how you are. That is how you should be. That's how God made you.
You are the world's vanilla
