Are You Hungry?

Bigger isn't just a representation of the "Black Struggle" during his time. He embodies us all or better yet WE embody him. Personally, there are countless times when I just ACTED do to impulse and never fully grasped WHY until the very end. Punches have been coming at me left and right, but like Bigger, I haven't learned to dodge yet because the first thing I FEEL I need to do is strike back and where do I land?... flat on my back. If I want to master the obstacles ahead I first need to master myself. "Men starve from the lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread"- Richard Wright. All I can SAY is that I'm hungry... VERY HUNGRY! But to say it is only the key to the lock. To actually DO something about it...well THAT is the hand the turns it. Thus opening the door. So... Are You Hungry?... then you KNOW what to do next.
