... being defeated is optional."
@GreatestQuotes
It has always impressed me the way people like Gandhi, Margaret Sanger,
MLK, Jr., and Eugene Debs did not "go away" when they were knocked
down, beaten, imprisoned, and mocked by the press. Defeat was not an
option in their minds! They all had the goal of improving the lives of the
suffering, the discriminated against, the poor ... and they were not going
to let any powerful entity stop them from moving toward their goal!
People wanting to change the status quo will always be challenged
because they demand inclusiveness from powerholders intent on keeping
their privileges for themselves. But they will never be defeated if they
"rise and rise again" after they are knocked down.
