Let's be honest: Ignoring is acting, and nothing more — acting as though the words or actions of your oppressors don't hurt. You hear the words, you feel the insults, and you bear the blows.
I try to catch them right on the tip of his nose, because I try to punch the bone into the brain.
I can still take the hits; it's not a problem for me. I accept the blows. I can take the punches like a boxer.
Humor is the shock absorber of life; it helps us take the blows.
I have a deep, deep belief that if I tell you I'm going to crack you with a clean shot to the chin inside one minute of the first round and you will be unconscious, well, then that's what will happen.
The long war of words and writing ends in blows.
Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.
There are people who are willing to suffer and swallow their tears at leisure, and God will no doubt reward them in heaven for their resignation; but those who have the will to struggle strike back at fate in retaliation for the blows they receive.
You blows who you is.
The golden fleece of self-sufficiency guards against cudgel- blows but not against pin-pricks.
