Please pronounce perseverance correctly! The emphasis is NOT on the second syllable, but on the third...'per-suh-veeur-ens'.

150 years of Western media has diligently tried to sanitize the true nature of Trans-Atlantic Slavery: There were daily floggings and torture; regular lynching and executions for disobedience ; use of violent-breed dogs as guards and as ring fighters vs. Black men; extreme hardwork till paralysis; use of prison-cell plus starvation as punishment; intentional amputation of limbs and defacing of disobedient slaves; daily rape of girls and women, sometimes as young as infants; breeding farms built on forced sex (mixed race slaves were bred for more money); constant separation of Black children from their families; prohibition of any form of education or reading for slaves; limiting slaves to a diet of the worst, left-over agricultural produce; use of slaves for entertainment (including the parading of deformed slaves as exhibits at community fairs); abuse of slave corpses; use of Black people for false science experiments; child labour (sometimes from as early as 4 years old); and listing of the value of humans (slaves) at the stock exchanges in USA and Europe. The average life expectancy of Black slaves was 32. Black women learned self-induced abortion. Black men were humiliated in front of their wives and women, as wives were gang-raped in from of their husbands, just to let the men know that they were nothing. In all wars that occurred during that era, slaves were used as disposable canon-fodder in the most risky areas of the wars, and after each war, they returned to their status as slaves; and sometimes as Uncle Toms used to snitch on their fellow Black people. White people did no work, other than supervising and punishing slaves or buying supplies and keeping financial records. White females just dressed up waiting to be married into their place in the kitchen. WHITES DID NO WORK and the entire USA GDP was derived from the value of slaves and land ! As these historical atrocities happened, good White people looked the other way. A majority of White people enjoyed the spectacle for over nearly 3 centuries. This dark history remains the source of White superiority complex, from which many White people today draw a sense of privilege - the same people who claim to be civilized and Christian.

It is rather tense to listen to non English speaking narrative. Not relaxing.

Any Challenge ll people listening 🙌🏻 ( asking for a friend )
Strong American accent inconsistently trying to sound Scots, and consistently mangling it, ugh. Better to read it straight.

"The Three Questions" by Leo Tolstoy is a short story that explores the themes of wisdom, purpose, and moral responsibility. The story follows a king who seeks the answers to three important questions: 1. What is the right time to begin everything? 2. Who are the right people to listen to and work with? 3. What is the most important thing to do? The king promises a reward to anyone who can provide satisfactory answers. He receives various responses from scholars and advisers but remains unsatisfied. Eventually, he consults a wise hermit known for his insight. The hermit does not answer directly but engages the king in a hands-on lesson. During the visit, the king helps the hermit with tasks like digging the soil. As they work, a wounded man appears seeking help. The king tends to the man's wounds, saving his life. Later, the man reveals he had planned to harm the king but changed his intentions after being saved. From these experiences, the hermit explains the answers to the king's questions: 1. The most important time is now, as it is the only time you have control over. 2. The most important person is the one you are with, as they are who you can impact. 3. The most important thing to do is to do good for the person you are with, as this fulfills the purpose of life. The story concludes with the king understanding that living in the present and serving others selflessly leads to true wisdom and fulfillment.

My favorite book besides Frankenstein! Everyone is unlikeable in it, but it's so good.
