Wisdom From a Wise Lady,
By
This review is from: Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now (Hardcover)
Maya Angelou lived in a desperate time, and in a desperately difficult family situation. There was a person in her early life who lifted her up so she could see her own worth. From there, this Lady has grown wise about human life, and how to live it wisely, fully, and more happily.
I love her chapters in this book on New Directions and the one on The Sweetness of Charity. Her viewpoints in the chapter called "What's So Funny" needs to be read often. She notes that when we as audiences indulge entertainers in their use of profanity or vulgarity by laughing and applauding it, "we are like the Romans at a colosseum battle between unarmed Christians and raging lions." God bless her for stating that "obesity is not funny, vulgarity is not amusing, insolent children and submissive parents are not the characters we want to admire or emulate." Ms. Angelou's first book, her autobiography,"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" was my first introduction to her writing. Much courage was needed to write that book, of a painful childhood. It is beautifully written, but was so hard for me to read. This author has the words and the heart to reach the heart of anyone who has a heart. This book is dedicated to Oprah Winfrey. It is a treat to read.
