edited for clarity.
when you have a minute or two I'd love to read your thoughts about the passage below, which is an excerpt of Possessing The Secret of Joy by Alice Walker.
I have already shared this piece with my loved ones and each person read and interpreted it differently.
ladies:do you identify with either Lara or Lala? have you ever at any point?
fellas:do you recognize either or both? do you empathize with one over the other? can you relate to Baba?
all: do you identify with any of the themes illustrated in this piece, e.g. love of self, vanity, self-discovery, acceptance, religion, culture?
what is the IC's take?

Threads like these were the reason why back in the day you had to have a certain ammount of posts before you could make threads.

why? because on the surface it appears to be a bait and switch?
it's marketing 101.
If you are a female, do you identify with either? If you are a male do you recognize either or both or empathize with one over the other?
I'm asking posters to read a selection written by a renowned and esteemed black author and offer their thoughts.
is that disappointing for GnS? -
FYI yall, TS is a female...
wow @ the thinly veiled tragedy.
Lara was the unloved, unwanted and under appreciated and JEALOUS co-wife. she seemingly looked inward and began to love and appreciate herself the way she wanted her husband to. by the time she finally got his coveted attention she opted out because she made peace within and was ready to die, word to biggie...
@ the end of the day, i guess she found "the secrets of joy" eh? -
Lara or Lala?
what exactly are u asking tho Top? -
baba that ? ....
