indeed they can Dave!
stellar expression(s). shows the man and the unyielding strength of his character.
unfortunately some choose never to become a man from a kid.
Maturity and wisdom every single line.

thank you, my friend, for your wise words. Most men stay belligerent kids all their life, it's in their nature but some choose to be different hopefully helping to encourage others. We have force of will to be anythng we want to be. All men can change if they wish

"the men who taught me

Amen to that! What a powerful statement, David! Sometimes what we're taught is absolute shite. We gotta relearn & do what feels right. As cold_fusion said above, some never evolve.
Fierce pouncing hugs!!! :-)

AT 19 I had the firm resolve to be modelled on my father and chose to be his polar opposite. Some people on DU remind me of my father because they chose to be like him, the ones who never forgive. That's why I will always stand against them.
thank you for your unwavering love and support, you are a gem :-)

I enjoy the bold perspectives you offer. Terrific message. I was telling Missy yesterday, Leonard Nimoy, a personal hero, was a champion of feminism his entire adult life. At the time of his passing, he was doing a real womens bodies photo shoot. We must have the courage to be ourselves and take action for the things we believe in.
More wise words from both you and Leonard Nimoy.
Thank you for being you :-)))))))))
