ROOTS

I have been wanting to share my experience in tracking down the "ROOTS" but this book had left me so overwhelmed ...that i didnt know where to begin. Anyone born in the 70's and 80's would remember the name " KUNTA KINTE"...and the glimpse of his life story....but anyone who dared read the book...will have an impact so strong on humanity or to be correct INHUMANITY that you cant help despising the cruel side of humankind. Its totally appaling !

It was funny that at some parts like ...when Kunta Kinte tries to escape from his master for the 3rd time after being brutally beaten up for the first 2 attempts...i will be hoping he runs away before the master realises that he is missing....hahaha....i was hoping to change the history...but i cant help it....i SO wanted him to run away...that i wished i could vanish into the book like Narnia and rescue him !!! But no....that doesnt happen does it....God gives ONE n ONLY ONE chance let it be for the GOOD or the BAD....whats done is done....no turning back...so...when he got caught again.... this time the master decides to chop his foot off !!! Arrrgggh....why din he run faster i would think ..to something which took place in the 1750s...hahaha..But the inspiring part was....as he was running the whole night and into the next day....he stops for his sundown prayers ( as he is a Muslim)...now would we...being chased by a few hungry fierce dogs and a master who is ready to kill you ,pause at any point endagering yourself to pray ? Now thats what you call FAITH ! He still BELIEVED GOD would find him the FREEDOM which was a fairy tale at that point of time....and it must have been those thousands of faithfull prayers which carried the vibes to President Lincoln who finally signed to FREE THE SLAVES in 1863.

And justice was finally done to Kunta Kinta and the other tens of thousands tortured slaves

when Obama became the President....it took like 8 generations of prayers to make that change..! So persistency wins !!

Though the world today is no less cruel in many ways....it gives a lot of hope to see people finally coming to respect , understand and love each other breaking all barriers ! So lets not think that one person's prayer will not make a difference in the world....100 one person will create a momentum....so lets be one of them...

FOR PEACE !
