A timely advice to my kids...Mary Nicole, Niccolo and Lizzie.....
You know I and your mom ( Dinah ), will always fight for you, and with you, against anyone and against every adversary and in any situation.....
But...even though, I have always proclaimed that we will be here always...practicality and reality dictates otherwise....
So....you have to learn to fight some battles b
y yourself and for yourself...
for your self esteem and for self-respect.
Do not allow people to look down on you...
do not allow them to disrespect you...
do not allow them to insult you or
make false insinuations against you....
do not take them sitting down.....
speak up and demand answers.....
you see, most of the people who would do this to you, are those who have been given less ( in so many areas) and thus try to overcompensate, by talking trash and appearing brave....
they may not be worth your time, but you cannot let them get away with this all the time...
I am not asking you to quarrel with them....
but you have to make them see and understand that they cannot treat you in such a demeaning way....
"If you make a doormat out of yourself, people will step on you."
Sometimes you have to fight for respect!
We are not rich and we are not powerful...but because we give respect, we deserve respect.
...And to those who will cause them, or us, hurt, intentionally...
I repeat, intentionally.....
again....we are not rich or powerful....
but there are other ways to get back.....
you know the saying....
"That the pen is mightier than the sword!"...
and you guys know how much I love to write!
May we all be enlightened!
