ReBirth

So I know that you are all aware of the Honey Badger slogan "Honey Badger don't care! Honey Badger don't give a F*ck! He takes what he wants!" This has rung true for quite some time but it needs modification.

Since starting this movement I have done much research on Honey Badgers and have learned much. I always assumed that Honey Badgers were one of the animals that would abandon their young, or eat them... But Honey Badgers actually look after their young for up to two years.

Baby Honey Badgers are very bad at honey badger. Their little faces show all of the concern forever, they have to learn to be tough and fearsome, they have to learn that they are a force to be reckoned with. They are much like people in that aspect. When we are born we are tiny, soft, fragile, born without killer intent. We slowly learn to shut ourselves off to the rest of the world to hate those who are different, to get upset at the slightest provocation...

So what we, The Honey Badgers, seek to do within this world is to help those who choose to be a member of our little club be reborn as honey badgers.

This requires some explanation. Humans are an unstoppable force of growth and destruction, Honey Badgers care about their young and their needs. Humans want to be at the top and do everything we can to show that we are, Honey Badgers know that the top is an arbitrary position and seek to just keep existing and being happy. Humans are filled with rage and hatred, Honey Badgers are filled with hunger and ferocity.

So I spent my fledgling years as a Honey Badger carving out my own path as did many of the others. Lando and I who have headed this movement have always done what we can to be their to help with an outside perspective and hearts free of judgement, but I have spent my years as a cub and feel that I am coming into my Honey Badger adulthood. This does not mean that I, or anyone else no matter what they tell you, am any more capable of making decisions for you, but that I feel like I can offer advice as guidance on your path across the desert.

Honey Badger Rebirth, to me, means shedding our human instinct to have to be the best. To have to assert dominance. To have to judge others. To Have to be a member of the most popular club. It means to embrace the fact you are awesome, I am awesome, you friends are awesome, your enemies are awesome. Life itself is amazing and anything granted it has been given a wondrous gift.

Honey Badgers do not lose every fight. Honey Badgers do not win every fight. However, Honey Badgers do not engage in every fight. Honey Badger do not stick around for every fight, and sometimes they just disappear.

So as humans we are close to the Honey Badger, but we also need to modify our outlook to become as one with them. We have much to learn, and they have much to teach, but you know what they say: "You can lead a horse to water, but it is not financially sound to hold its head under until the bubbles stop."

Don't drown horses, its just mean
The King
