Treatment Activist Spencer Cox: This is What I Learned

Spencer Cox, a smart and funny treatment activist, died in December 2012 at the age of 44 after more than two decades of engagement in the AIDS Wars. His astute, poignant and recent obervation to film maker David France of what he learned in those wars wound up on the cutting room floor, but it is worth repeating here. 

"What I know is that miracles happen… I don't know what's going to happen… I just know you keep going, you keep evolving, you keep progressing, you keep hoping until you die. You make your life as meaningful as you can make it. You live it and don't be afraid of who's going to like you, or, you know, are you being appropriate…You worry about things like being kind, you worry about things like being generous.  And if it's not about that, what the hell is it about? That's what I've learned."
