Ruins Taught Impatience

More From Michel De Montaigne

There are two main human sins from which all the others derive: impatience and indolence. it was because of impatience that they were expelled from paradise; it is because of indolence that they do not return. yet perhaps there is only one major sin: impatience. because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return.
Two Paradise Return
There are two cardinal human sins out of which all others derive, deviate, and dissipate: impatience and lassitude (or perhaps nonchalance). on account of impatience they are driven out of paradise; on account of lassitude or nonchalance they do not return. perhaps, however, only one main sense of sin is given: impatience. on account of impatience they are driven out, on account of impatience they do not turn back.

Prison was a blessing. going to prison was the greatest thing that happened to me. it showed me that i wasn't infallible. it showed me that i was just human. it showed me that i can be back with my ghetto brothers i grew up with and have a good time. it taught me to cool out. it taught me patience. it taught me that i didn't ever want to lose my freedom. it taught me that drugs bring on the devil. it taught me to grow up.

When a child my mother taught me the legends of our people; taught me of the sun and sky, the moon and stars, the clouds and storms. she also taught me to kneel and pray to usen for strength, health, wisdom, and protection. we never prayed against any person, but if we had aught against any individual we ourselves took vengeance. we were taught that usen does not care for the petty quarrels of men.

The picture of mother teresa that i remember from my childhood is of a short, sari-wearing woman scurrying down a red gravel path between manicured lawns. she would have in tow one or two slower-footed, sari-clad young indian nuns. we thought her a freak. probably wed picked up on unvoiced opinions of our loreto nuns.
