A hothead starts fights;
they strike at those
who fear them — such is
the smallness of bullies.

They are short‑tempered
and stumble into foolishness;
they scheme in shadows
and earn no true respect.

Don’t fear them — stand your
ground, stay cool‑tempered.
Be kind and merciful to them;
they fear courage. Show none of your own fear.

Stand with the repressed;
together you will triumph.
Fill yourself with unfailing love.

This unsettles the bully —
for love is a language
they have never learned,
and so they cling to the only truth
they think they know —
anger.

Quiet Freedom

“Stand firm in who you are, even when the room leans the other way—because true freedom isn’t loud; it lives quietly in the choices no one sees.”
