“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1...Join me in the Duplicitous take of an "Ex-Coloured Man" I am not waiting any longer. This is free I opened the HTML version and began reading immediately!
Why do I keep using the words coming of age and actualization? Occasionally, we recoil from the sting of growing pains, but still we must go forward. It's just like a child who hates going to bed. Each day winds down to that dreaded moment. Little by little the child will become creative, cunning, and even desperate to avoid this moment. No matter what they invent, reality remains, the day is ending and bedtime's beginning. Eventually, they learn the time is inevitable. But it may take a few chastenings before they comply...The same is true of life, you may struggle with each change necessary to become responsible for yourself. (Bucking parental advice, tradition, and good sense altogether!) At some point, all the ways you hit your head are supposed to culminate, shaping behavior, encouraging maturity....
That is just the first step in actualization.
So don't ge me wrong, I am not yet the wise one I hope to someday be, but some of the paths I have walked, I know I shall never return.

I highlighted "After all I had learnt he has been repeated three times in this class; now his new name is 'Father' and could be heard on the lips of every little child in the school." This made me laugh out loud! I felt akin to children who would do this, kids are cruel all over the world...CUTE and ironic!
- from The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man This ends a two paragraph account of gospel on the "Negro experience" He compares it to being an actor, stuck doing tragedies. {PREACH} This passage is a chilling foretelling of the lives many people of the demographic now lead... #Wakeup
