Small, medium, and large men face adversity. Violence begets violence they say. But with hate... a choice arises. A small man perpetuates. He is not just angry at the world, but at himself. A small man is small in heart, mind and body. no compassion. no free-will. no strength to resist. A medium man avoids problems because he doesn't know how to be a part of the solution. And, a large man fights. He'll fight the system, the power, the oppressor, the instigator, the teacher, the mayor. Not because he is bigger, because god knows… sometimes the largest of men are the smallest of stature... But because a large man has beliefs, morals, and values; all of which trump the latest trend.
