You Ain't So Bad

You Ain't So Bad

Take to the ring.

Take to the field.

Take to the streets.

Take to the twitter.

I like saying "the" twitter.

Take it anywhere.

Look for that opening.

Ready...

Punch!

Again.

Harder.

Body blow.

Uppercut.

Even more pointed than that.

Multiple body blows.

Up against the ropes.

Is that all you got?

It's like Rocky versus Clubber Lang.

You ain't so bad.

You ain't nothin'!

What if we had a different world?

A world in which we could choose love over fear?

A world without hate.

Seems unfathomable.

But it's not.

You ain't so bad.

You ain't nothin'!

We need to move towards the attack.

Closer.

Right up next to it.

Take the punch.

The body blow.

The uppercut.

You ain't so bad.

You ain't nothin'!

Really take it.

Totally be with it.

Another body blow.

You ain't so bad.

You ain't nothin'!

Feeling stronger with each punch.

Antifragile at its best.

Is that all you got?

Another uppercut.

Move towards it.

Envelope it.

Then move through it.

Come out the other side transformed.

Impossible?

I think not.

I think it's totally possible.

It starts with me.

You ain't so bad.

You ain't nothing!

I don't hate you.

On the contrary.

I truly believe a world of love is a better way.

Who would I like to be?

Someone that learns from you.

Someone that loves you.

Someone that fights for you.

Instead of with you.

You ain't so bad.

You are somethin'!
