Defiance is often seen as negative when the term is used loosely. However, in certain situations, it requires sheer determination and willpower to overcome overwhelming odds. This is what I call defiance with purpose. It means standing firm against false narratives, accusations, lies, and anything else that seeks to diminish your worth. History is filled with individuals whose groundbreaking ideas in science and technology defied societal norms and reshaped the world. True progress often demands the courage to challenge what is considered normal or temporarily convenient, all in pursuit of a greater, lasting impact.
