Never whine. Whining lets a brute know that a victim is in the neighborhood.
In the quote from Maya Angelou's "Letter to My Daughter," she emphasizes the importance of maintaining strength and resilience by avoiding complaints. Whining is portrayed as a weakness that signals vulnerability to others, especially those with harmful intentions, like a brute.
Maya Angelou encourages individuals to stay composed and confident in the face of challenges. Rather than whining, she advocates for inner strength and self-control, which can help defend against exploitation and maintain dignity in difficult situations.
