Someone reminded me that I referenced this quote once. I didn’t remember using it and suspect it wasn’t really me and that they were mistaken. I am happy to take the credit though:
“ No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt
I actually think this is a very privileged way of looking at life and the world. We who hold this view are lucky... When someone has taken your family, your home, your freedom and your food, come back to me and tell me that you don't feel inferior. Primates, and other animals, I suspect, have a great way of inflicting psychological harm on one another.
ReplyDeleteNot that I don't love good 'ole Mrs. Roosevelt...
