I think that there was one time that i heard someone quote a book in an argument and it was dismissed as hear say🤔. But almost every other time, people generally seem to accept the words of publications as truth. As such, i decided to publish some of my own opinions. Maybe then they would make more of an impact on the world than when spread orally🗣.
However, practically everyone around me is black🤦🏿♂️. And i know, i hate prejudices too, but there is some truth to the saying🤷🏿♂️ - "if you want to hide the truth from a black man, put it in a book." 🛑Don't misqoute me. I'm not claiming to be speaking truth, im just saying, people around me hate reading.📖
Just to let you inℹ,- most people i know don't read books. The few that, do rarely finish them🚫. I'm assuming that of the people that saw this: 60% didn't even bother to give it a second look after seeing it's a series of words🤨; 25% didn't make it to the quote cause immediately they started reading they got bored💤; 10% probably gave up when they saw numbers ahead, i mean, if i want percentages i might aswell torture myself with a math book😖. But that leaves me with the 5%👥. Of which, less than half will go beyond the introduction and a significantly insignificant percentage will actually finish the whole introduction and actually pursue the follow up😞. But if it was only one person that did that, I'd probably have more people listening than if i didn't write at all. So I'll gather my courage and risk wasting a whole lot of my time.⌛
My hope is to narrate and provoke conversations that will help us grow as individuals and make it through the very trying times of life. Hopefully, we'll speak more interested in truth than in been right or our pride.
⚠️
If we'll take to each other truthfully, i must make a few confessions:
*when starting, i had absolutely no idea where this will lead to. I just thought that it would make an interesting captivating introduction. Hope i was right.
*The emojis where added to the introduction with the hopes of giving it a little character. The rest of the stuff i type may not have them. If they kept you going, sorry.⏩so, from this point forward, this publication is purposed for interaction. Whatever we discuss is open to any contributor or spectator for replication and redistribution, whether resulting in commercial use or not. In my next post, i hope to give you a little insight on your coordinating author. It could help you understand the direction i might possibly go with this whole "conversation". But if and when you can, feel free to steer it. In the wise words of an American artist- "you can either lead, follow or get out the way. But make a move."
