Mama knows best....
A Raisin in the Sun
Mama speaking to Beneatha after she said there was nothing left to love in her brother Walter anymore after he invested the families money which ended up lost due to Walter being scammed.....
"Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain't through learning-because that ain't the time at all. It's when he is at his lowest and can't believe in hisself ' cause the world done whipped him so! When you start measuring somebody, measure him right, child, measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is. "
Damn mama, I could not agree more.
Ever since I finished the book I have been talking like mama. :)
Anyway I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow. I have class but still. I'll probably do my homework then. I'm too tired tonight chile....my bones is too tired.
