Malcolm X says all women are fragile and weak by nature

and are looking for a man to provide strength. I disagree.

Women, just like men, deep inside, are looking for a connection. A strong connection between them. When looking at the world through the weak and fragile female and the detached unemotional rock of a male, that's where a lot of relationships get fucked up. Unfortunately, X's philosophy is the one most people believe. And while society would rather teach us this, because it's more comfortable and palatable to see women not as equal humans but as these weak lesser beings which need strength and only strength, that immediately allows males to get away with raping, assaulting, dominating, and further disprespecting women, as long as we give them what they truly need, which is "strength", whatever that may be.

-I can sympathize with, but can never ever understand the black man's struggle. I am a white, middle class male and I've just recently realized that I was born into this country a level up on many. I've never had to struggle for acceptance and survival like minorities do. So I won't even pretend I know what they're going through.

-I have to use college to simply further my education in fields I'm most interested in. Philosophy is a great start. Sure, the liberal arts shit is a distraction (I'm never going to need calculus or physics outside in my life), but I can get past that and learn what I truly want to learn.

Everywhere I turn, people say "hey, there's good money in this-and-that" or "there's a lot of good jobs in this field" and I'd listen scared of my future, and say to myself "I'd better listen, because I don't want a major that's gonna keep me out of a job"

When you're fmall and ignorant (most of the kids going into college), you think of college as a natural progression in order to get a job and be "successful". "Success" means getting a job that pays a lot of money. So instead of going to college for education and enlightenment, you should go to school so you can be a "success".

Fuck that philosophy.

I, from this point forward, will NOT live my life out of a necessity to "succeed" and prove myself to family or peers. I can't lie fo myself. I refuse to choose a major simply because it may lead to "success" in the future. Because that's not how I define success. Success, to me, is whatever completes you deep inside. And every luxury and all the money in the world cannot do that.

So, in order to try to find true success, one has to look much deeper than a huge house, 2 luxury cars, a giant pool, and a beautiful wife. That's all superficial material bullshit.

Capitalism is a cancer of the mind. Too many people try and buy satisfaction. It can't be done. It just can't. Discovering one's true passion in life and becoming fully enlightened in this passion, whatever it may be, is the true path to success.

Also, people try to find success in a romantic partner. While a person to share your life with is a beautiful and mysterious thing, it is not the be-all and end-all. Too many people believe that that one person is their life's destiny and without him or her, they can't go on. Fate and destiny are bullshit. There is no way that there is one and only one person for any given person on earth. It may be rare and very difficult to find said person, but there are billions of people in this world, and there are bound to be thousands, if not millions, of people with whom you could share life.

Success and fulfillment go hand in hand. And while people love to think simplistically and always need a dollar amount or some way to judge who is more successful than who, it just can't be counted in dollars and cents. It's a feeling. And some try and create it artificially through drugs, parties, and promiscuous sex, but in the end, it can only be achieved by those willing to go an extra step and look deeper into life than most do now.

Note: one's true passion can be ANYTHING. Colleges try to label each individual with subjects and majors, but it truly does go much, much deeper than that.
