And here's a story for the story:
Jane Bookmark grew up in a very healthy black family. The parents taught Jane to appreciate herself and to understand that she has good traits as well as some not so good traits that needs work. And so, she lives her live happy because this understanding that she is a pretty good person has sunk into her heart.
Sally Pagemark grew up in a broken home. Her family called her all sorts of names and did not love her and made her feel like her black skin was a problem. Many negative messages were fed to her as she grew up. Consequently, she had a very negative image of herself and thought herself trashy.
One day, Sally meets Jane.
They begin an interesting dialogue where Jane reveals how wonderful she feels and how there is nothing inherently wrong with being black or wanting to achieve or whatever else. At this moment Sally, sets her mind to live differently. She hears the messages that Jane is giving and wants to internalize them. Right now, however, those new and good messages are only in Sally's brain, her mind. She is now Ms. Wisdom. She can potentially become very proud now and scream out to the world, "I am somebody!!!"
Slowly, slowly, she becomes at ease with Jane's message and it sinks deeper (higher)in her, into her heart. Now, she is no longer proud of this, she is simply a confident woman. She has ascended to Ms. Humility. As she walks around and lives her life confidently, she meets Misty Notepad. Misty is in baaaaad shape.
Until she has a dialogue with Sally, Ms. Humility. and the cycle continues...
