In life the only true challenge or war that you are ever going to win is against yourself. You know you have no control over other people. In the long run, you will never win by fighting against anything or anyone but by learning to choose from within the terms of indifference or by stating your truth intelligently without hurting others or resorting to vituperation. When you realize that no one or anything has power over you unless you give it to it, you have won a battle you will never have to fight.

You can't do what's right by anyone if you can't do what's right for yourself. Honesty and integrity begin with the self. Standing up for yourself, refusing to be a doormat, and rejecting all kinds of disrespect from people including the notion that peace must come at any price, is the only path to freedom.
