This picture is etched in history forever.
A lone man confronted a line of seventeen oncoming tanks that were aimed at smashing the freedom rally of the Chinese Democracy Movement at Tiananmen Square, Peking, on June 5, 1989. One young man stopped the deadly advance of a column of tanks for thirty minutes and then climbed atop the lead tank, reportedly demanding of its driver. “Why are you here? My city is in chaos because of you. Go back, turn around and stop killing my people.” The anonymous “Tank Man” became an instant international symbol of resistance, he faced the ultimate test of personal courage with honor and delineated forever the proud image of an individual standing in defiance against a military juggernaut.
This picture reminds me of Rosa Parks.
One of my biggest motivators in my recovery is to recognize the fact that I know how my life will be if I continue to use porn, I’ve been there already and it’s not going to be any different this time if I choose to go back. It will be a life filled with depression and a lot of short term pleasure, that’s it.
So let me experience something new, even though it’s hard.
