A man reconsiders his younger belief that disrespect demanded a violent response. He now gives people a pass instead, and says choosing not to fight doesn't make him weak. It's part of becoming who he actually wants to be.
I might disrespect you. What does that mean? Look, she's shaking her head like, you just, you gonna get it, right? And when I was younger, I had a long list of stuff that I would not be disrespected for. But then you get older and you learn like that list is like that small now, right? Outside of you trying to put your hands on me, you could probably get away with anything 'cause I don't give you that kind of power. But if you buck up against me and I determine something's being disrespectful, what is the next thing I'm gonna do? Based on what I believe about disrespect, where I come from, I got— I don't have no choice but to cause harm to you. At least that's what my old belief is. My new belief says you can have that, right? But it wasn't until I update— updated that and processed that, that I could be the man that I am today. Doesn't mean I'm weak, soft, punk, none of that. Like I said earlier, I'm giving you a pass for both of us.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
