i am reading a book called "the color purple" by alice walkins. she is am african american writer. and the fact that i am extremely dissapointed with men at this point of time has been reinforced by this book. the first page of the book reveals a shocking truth. a girl raped by her own father, celie the protagonist if i amy call her that tells her own story through a series of letters written to god.
i cannot help feeling a lot of reponsibility more than anything else, i feel i must struggle and do well after the good family i was born into and all the opportuinities i have got. i could not fritter tham away knowing of so many others who have bled and cried and died in crulety and slavery to make it possible for me to stand up and be able to write these words and share them with the world.
one man's betrayal should not make me so sad or deparate. i cannot feel this way. this is not the way of women, we fight , we survive. we have and we will. i must as i owe it all those who have gone before me. not with hatered but with achievements and banishing the feeling of lonliness,and despair.
like a man says, that you call men bastards proves that you believe that there are some good people out there. i don't know what i believe about men but i know this much that i can survive and i will survive and i will not be sad and miserable and cry for a man who does not deserve my tears forget my love. i will not curse him , he will meet his end the way he must as decreed by god.
i believe he sees all and knows all. so i leave his fate to him. justice will be done.
