“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening[…]Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.”—Alice Walker, with a quote for every classroom wall.

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other’s opposite and complement.”—Hermann Hesse

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”—Dale Carnegie

The Versatility That God Created.
“Nobody can build the bridge for you to walk across the river of life, no one but you yourself alone. There are, to be sure, countless paths and bridges and demi-gods which would carry you across this river; but only at the cost of yourself; you would pawn yourself and lose. There is in the world only one way, on which nobody can go, except you: where does it lead? Do not ask, go along with it.”—Friedrich Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations

we will not win this argument. The women have a lock on this and rightly so! I succumb to this debate because we have as black men not lifted/raised our women to the level of prominence that they deserve, yet we have lowered them to a level of pure sexual desire.
They are more than a fat posterior (ASS). They are the women that raise our children alone without missing a beat, the bread winner in many instances, and our spiritual advisers and support mechanism yet we as black men fail to recognize their intelligence and very intelligent and educated many of them are. I admit that the shock of seeing our black women turn to slave masters son is less than appealing to my psyche, but we as black men must elevate ourselves in order to change our realities and to also recognize that our Women are the True Queens of The World!
