Chapter 1: A Powerful Reminder

In this piece, the author shares her experiences and frustrations regarding critical feedback she receives from those who disagree with her perspective. One response that particularly stands out begins with an admission of feeling like a "doormat." It states, "Hello, I'm a doormat and a coward, but a Radical Womanist Feminist and I love you. I am also a hypocrite. I can't walk the talk. I'm too useless, but I vote and I think and I don't like users and bullies. You're not a bully; you have strong opinions that others may not appreciate. They have the choice to read or not."

This raises the question: Is this a typographical error or am I misunderstanding the sentiment?

At our core, each of us possesses a progressive mindset that encourages us to lead ethical lives filled with personal fulfillment while aspiring to contribute positively to the world. This collective pursuit of a greater good is what infuses life with its progressive essence. You might refer to it as "the law," and like any law, actions that violate its principles must be addressed or eliminated. Your strength as an individual lies in the progressive realization of your meaningful ideals. This is not solely for your benefit but for the intricate tapestry of life itself.

Consequently, you are not, nor have you ever been, a doormat. You are not a coward. While it’s possible to adopt certain traits temporarily, I hope you do not internalize them as truths.

I often struggle to find words that truly encapsulate your essence, as your identity and worth cannot be quantified. You are neither beneath nor above anyone else; any effort to diminish yourself in comparison to others is futile, as comparisons will always yield parallels.

If you find it challenging to confront others directly, that does not equate to cowardice. It simply reflects your unique position alongside those who can. Their ability to confront does not render them superior or more valuable in the journey of life.

Everyone plays distinct roles in this intricate experience we call life. Therefore, you are NOT without purpose; your usefulness transcends what that term can encompass — its potential is infinitely vast.

It is entirely acceptable to resonate with someone who holds passionate views that might unsettle others. We live in a world where everyone is entitled to express their opinions, and healthy discourse is essential. Ideally, differing viewpoints should be evaluated against one another, leading to corrections when necessary, though this is not always the outcome. Regardless, whether views evolve or remain static, there is always a reason behind it.

While you may agree with differing opinions, remember, you should never dim your light in doing so. You do not have to compromise your power to seem more agreeable.

Chapter 2: The Beauty of Perspectives

The diversity of opinions shapes our life experiences, and the wonderful aspect of today's world is that we can explore countless viewpoints, each varying in alignment with our own. We have the freedom to extract the most valuable insights from any perspective while discarding those that do not align with our inherently progressive nature.

You, dear friend, are not a doormat. You are not a coward. You are not without value; labeling you as "useful" merely scratches the surface of your extraordinary significance. No term can adequately convey the miraculous importance of your existence.

Do not dim your light any longer.

The video titled "God Says You're Not a Doormat (10 Scriptures to Prove It)" reinforces the message that you are inherently valuable and should embrace your individuality without fear.
