Growing Up Fool Firsts
His master’s pain was his pain. and it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. when the house started burning down, that type of negro would fight harder to put the master’s house out than the master himself would. but then you had another negro out in the field. the house negro was in the minority. the masses—the field negroes were the masses. they were in the majority. when the master got sick, they prayed that he’d die. if his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.

Regret Years Wheel Of Time
Who are we really? combinations of common chemicals that perform mechanical actions for a few years before crumbling back into the original components? fresh new souls, drawn at random for some celestial cupboard where god keeps an unending supply?or the same soul, immortal and eternal, refurbished and reused through endless lives, by that thrifty housekeeper? in her wisdom and benevolence she wipes off the memory slates, as part of the cleaning process, because if we could remember all the things we have experienced in earlier lives, we might object to risking it again.
