"I am of average intelligence. There's nothing special about me. If I can get this far I would be very surprised if you couldn't get at least twice as far.
Fuck them. Keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp." (Henry Rollins)
Love this quote - it's a feisty little bugger. Read it on someone's Facebook page. Given it's raw nature, I looked up Henry Rollins - turns out, he's a punk rock/alternative musician, stand-up comedian, spoken-word artist and activist. Didn't surprise me. His to the point message, told me he's a strong and confident individual who takes care of himself while encouraging others to do the same.
Truth be told, we do need to take care of ourselves; no one else is going to do it. And that's not to say we become anti-social or fear getting involved with people or not trust them but like it or not, we are on our own. Even someone who's been married for 50 years, is still on his or her own, because they have made the choice to stay there to maintain and participate in the relationship for that long a period of time. A marriage takes two people; however, each person is entitled to their own opinion and makes their own decisions within that relationship. Someone in an abusive controlling relationship is usually seen as more on his or her own and sadly, may not be aware or feel they can leave; regardless, the choice is still present.
It's all about accountability and level of awareness in one's life. Taking care of one's self first leads to taking care of others and taking care of others links to taking care of the world.
