"don't judge a book by it's cover" is the old saying."is every nigga with dreads
for the cause, is every nigga wit gold for the fall", "naw so don't get caught
up in appearence"
these are words of truth and wisdom... not saying they arefrom a profound intellect. for some reason (we) are under the impression that all wise thoughts and words have to come from a certified PhD. intellect. no not true. truth comes from and out ofexperience. with that I am a master teacher of hard times and misconceptions...as many of you are. i may dress a particular way. with my ass hangin out, breast showing andwith the over greased legs...but does that imply that i am not of the knowing ofwho i really am? just because i wear my pants a little saggy, sneakers everydayaccompanied by a tee....does that make me the poster stereotypical butch bitch?if i decided to loc my hair, wear dashiki's, sport an anhk whether in hand or around my neckdoes that make me the boho champion rasta dread???
humans are caught up! trapped even in a particular method of thinking.we are stereotypical people who feel the need to generalize in order to understand....but why not question? if knowledge is gained throughwisdom and understanding wouldn't questioning be a part of that process?we tend to label things without properly knowingwhat they are...inquire about them first. we've created misconceptions and we areaccepting of them. in fact for some they are life's mantras.
yeah, i know you know at least one person i'm speaking about....umm hmm him/hernext time tell that ass to shut up unless they are with the knowing that not all things are alike. we are all born individual and original...most answers comefrom within. stop to think. stop to listen. stop. look. listen. misconception of people are used daily as means of attack. protect your own from this deadly force. force yourself to understand what, where and why thisperson is who/what they are. unlearn what has been taught to you....or passed downand passed off as tradition.
