Have you ever shut someone down immediately for saying something you oppose? Has it ever been someone you may have loved, admired, almost idolized in some cases? This is a quote from an academic I have such admiration for, and yet I found myself doing the same thing, in terms I used to use "non ciphering" Cornel West, who has been a huge influence in my own philosophy. His quote “We have to recognize that there cannot be relationships unless there is commitment, unless there is loyalty, unless there is love, patience, persistence" actually addresses what relationships are made of and made me self examine my own outlook. I hope it does the same for you!Support the show
