I think that one of the worst sins of the media is to call dictators, “Strong men” or Strong women.” They are anything but.
A strong person is not afraid to treat others as equals.
A strong person is not afraid to put their ideas up for discussion or vote.
A strong person is not afraid to enter into a contest even though they might lose.
The strong admit to mistakes and learn from them.
The strong do not rely on having their egos stoked by those they have power over.
The strong surround themselves by those with diverse opinions and the courageous.
The strong lead by appealing to the best in others.
The strong are not afraid of love.
The strong show gratitude and humility.
The weak think they must be treated as special and above the law.
The weak demand everyone accept their ideas without debate.
The weak refuse to admit they were wrong and refuse to learn from their mistakes.
The weak surround themselves with cowardly sycophants.
The weak appeal to the fear, hate, and cruelty of their fans.
The weak show others contempt.
Choose wisely.
