I just got done reading the Narrative of the life of Mr. Frederick Douglass. I must say it was a pretty good book. I feel like a lot of the lessons were hidden by simplicity, but when you actually understand, or make an understanding for yourself, it's an eye opener. We're way past slavery and all that, & i'm not racist or anything, but that period in time was crazy, & it's funny how all we needed to come up out of that was knowledge!!!
Every single last person that lived through slavery, are the most brave people to ever walk this planet. He explains almost everything that comes along with living life as a slave, from birth, to being a young adult, to finally having to work in the field, different ranks, privileges, beatings...........during his time.
Hmmmmm......
If you take his explanations and compare it to our times, it's not to far off!!! Less graphic of course but not to far off. On Kanye West's new album "Yeezus," he has a song called "New Slaves." <------- Wonder what that's about :/...... I've always believed people higher up then me just had to know something I didn't, & now I believe its just "Knowledge!!!"
Am I Done reading ......
That book yes, i'm about to dive into this next one, written by Robert Greene, "48 Laws of Power!" This is going to be real good! Till Next Time :).
