    Wonderful Story

    I'm most impressed with his honesty. Nobody knows what it is like to walk in his shoes. Most of us have not had his success and fame. No judgement here because if presented with life's temptations on the level he was at I know the majority of us would have done the same thing. I respect the man to share his pain and I wish him well in his search for self- love and self-compassion. Oscar has shown more guts telling his story here than standing in the ring with some very dangerous fighters! Enjoy your family and try to learn and welcome intimacy in your life with your kids who want to know you!!

    This is how to be courageous

    Opening your self up and being honest with everyone else around you, sharing your true feelings, taking the risk that your ego may take a huge hit are all marks of a true champion.

    Making an attempt to live your life in a way that would avoid hurting other people is noteworthy (i.e. 'What is hurtful to you do not do to someone else').

    However, living every day in service to your fellow human beings is something else (i.e. 'Love your neighbor as your self').

    I hope that Oscar and my self figures this out some day. I have been incredibly blessed to escape a childhood of so much pain that I almost took my own life.

    Thankfully, a 'higher power' intervened and now I'm in a position to make other people's lives better.

    "Emotional and Intense: *The Golden Boy* Delivers a Powerful Story of Ambition and Sacrifice"

    *The Golden Boy* is a heartfelt and intense drama that explores ambition, sacrifice, and the pursuit of greatness. The film follows a young athlete torn between personal desires and the pressures of those who believe in his potential. The performances, especially by the lead, are powerful and nuanced, capturing the inner turmoil and external expectations. The direction beautifully balances moments of triumph with deep emotional introspection. While some plot points feel familiar, the film's emotional resonance and stunning cinematography make it a memorable and moving experience. I really love it!
