So I’ve gathered that you feel at times like you’re living without purpose and that whether you go left or right, you get smacked down.
This is a relatively short read (about 5 days) and best of all, it’s free lol.
Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson
This brother spent 18-27 behind enemy lines, this was during the 60’s and he was a militant.
The book is a collection of letters he sent home during that time. What I think will hit home for you is the way he interprets his situation throughout. He’s in a similar position; he’s locked in a prism of darkness, flanked by the age old whiteman on one side and the world on the other, both are violently against him and trying to down him, but he realizes that his very living, his very breathing..is what his best weapon is.
You were born to do this
You are not going to be Henry Ford
You are not going to be Elon Musk
You are not going to be Donald Trump
Success in this lifetime will never look like that, the same way our great great great grandfather knew he would NEVER become president or the richest man in the world…The playing field was rigged and their duty, their success was to sacrifice their lives and hold the big metal open door long enough that you and I could slip in and blow it to pieces, even if it means we die in the process…Cuz that’s OUR success in this lifetime…THAT is your happiness, THAT is your fulfillment, THAT is your legacy. You’re not going to be a Fortune 500 CEO because you’re right, you’re skin is too Black and the world that we were born into has been trained to neutralize that and if THEY die in the process, they’re ok with that.. Is it beginning to make sense a little? It’s a war..So if your family tolerates you or not, or if this girl is the right one, or if GTA6 is ever coming out…that shyt is secondary to your bosom interest, your main objective is one thing and one thing only: fight for the future.
No matter if you’re going to school, on the street, starting a business..It all has to be for the war effort..Having a nice house and a white woman with some kids might feel nice, but those who come after you will suffer because you didn’t do YOUR job, just like those before us didn’t do theirs (for a short period of time) and now we have to rebuild. This is the basis of those letters in Soledad Brother.
Understand, I’m a nikka just like everyone else… I like to smoke weed and fukk on luh smeeg jawns just like you probably do..Enjoy your life, no doubt…But what I think will help you feel fulfilled is when you have a clear objective. I REALLY don’t like talking Five Percent shyt on here but in my nation we say that if you put something in the blood, it affects everything you do as blood is the science of the body, the same can be said of this understanding…once you know that this is war and you’re fighting for it, everything you do will have more meaning to you and you will reap the benefits of it..I PROMISE you, God. Everything will fall into place because your natural tendencies that are unique to u and separate from the objective will guide you to college, will guide you to trade school, will guide you to that C++ programming class, will guide you to the gun, whatever your soldier aptitude is, will be used for the cause of YOU …And it will feel exhilarating to know that when you get there, you’re where u wanted to be when u made this thread.
