Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.
If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves and allow those responsible to salve their conscience by believing that they have our acceptance and concurrence. We should, therefore, protest openly everything… that smacks of discrimination or slander.
masculinity
The topic of masculinity, what it is and how it is expressed in both immediate and popular culture, is one that always seems to be spurred on or perhaps made more visible by conversations which happen on social media, usually centering around how men showing each other affection seems to be taboo.
Intimacy
What little intimacy we do allow is then filtered through a homoantagonistic lens, replete with phrases like “no homo” and other declarations of our straightness. There is a problem with the ways in which masculinity is practiced by and around cis-het men, and we need to expand the ways in which we conceptualize and practice this masculinity.
Spiritual Strength
Spirituality means something different to everyone, but is often thought of as our relationship with our creator or that which is larger than us. Though spirituality is something that extends beyond religious involvement, it is often most supported and cultivated in our society within traditional religious spaces, like churches or mosques.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.
Powerful people never educate powerless people in what they need that they can use to take the power away from powerful people; it’s too much to expect. If I was in power, I would not educate people in how to take my powers away..
I’m hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
