This is only part of a quote by Malcolm X. I like this quote, I like it when I hear it, I like it in print. The 70er I get the more I realize that life is seldom, if ever made up of straight lines. There are so many bends and twists and circles. I seldom make adamant, absolute statements anymore. This was something I did a lot as a younger woman. I was so sure then what was right and what was wrong. I was sure about black and white, I didn't entertain any shades of gray. Really life is mostly made up of shades of gray. Black and white was so much easier, right and wrong was easier, and don't confuse me with extenuating circumstances or shades of grey. When two people are fighting or disagreeing it is seldom if ever that one is totally right and one is totally wrong.
Whoa, that wasn't what I wanted to write and I am not sure where it came from, but it is down and I think I will make the deal with myself that I made with the granddaughter of my soul..."We Don't Delete". So it is here to stay.
I am for truth because I need to be. I can't really understand many things until I know the truth. I have a difficult time forgiving people if I don't know the truth. And I am sure that is true for others as well as myself.
That is why I always try to be honest, without being hurtful. Because it works for me.
