“Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.”

Answer:

Those who do not move, do not notice their chains. ― Rosa Luxemburg

Rosa knew exactly what she was talking about.

You cant free people who don’t know they are enslaved…especially yourself. You cant shed old skin, old ways and old thoughts until you have something to replace it with. None but ourselves can free our minds

We have to believe we can break free, but before that we have to believe we are worthy of freedom

Sometimes we are chained by weight, or debt or addictions. Sometimes we are chained by our past hurts and pain. Sometime we are chained by our need for speed, need for stuff and things in our lives. More times than not we are chained by our own thoughts about who we are and who we think we can be.

These chains keep us from trying, from changing, from growing, from learning.

I know what I am talking about, because I was chained in so many areas of my life. My poor health, over stressed, fast lifestyle was a huge chain I wore for years. I was chained by poor choices and bad decisions that made my life and world view limited. I thought they were just pretty bracelets that every woman in my family had the pleasure of wearing. Shiny baubles of too many fatty foods, no exercise, too much pressure and caring for everyone in the world before myself. The chain of being the perfect woman, mother, nurturer and sister. The chain of giving everything to everybody even at the cost of my soul.

I think women in my family received these chains upon puberty

Being bound for so long, I lost hope. I thought this was life. Generation after generation of self sacrificing black woman. Such a cliche….

The reality was sometime. it was easier to stay stuck, stay small, stay shackled. The pain becomes normal I no longer noticed the chains. I even wore them with pride on occasion. The less I thought about my chains the more tolerable they became.

I had an option … I could continue to wear the chains and. follow the path before me or I could make choices that would have me walking anew path.

But here is the truth: we cant dance or sing or sit in the sunlight when shackled. We cant. truly laugh or love when chained

I did not want to die chained. I had to break my chains so I could live.

I had to be freed. The funny thing about freedom is it is very rarely given, most times it is fought for and won. I had to become my own example of struggle and redemption.

What is Mr. Bennet's attitude toward Catherine and Lydia's behavior?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The best option seems to be 1. They should continue to socialize with their relatives and with the officers stationed in Meryton.

Explanation:

Mr. Bennet is a character is the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. He is the father of five daughters, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine (Kitty), and Lydia. His two youngest daughters, Kitty and Lydia, constantly present a foolish behavior. Even though very young, they have already been introduced to society. They attend balls and often walk to the town nearby to socialize with their relatives and friends. Their sole purpose is to find husbands - if handsome ones, even better.

<u>We would expect Mr. Bennet to be against their behavior since, at that time, propriety and decency were most valued.</u> It was very easy for a girl to lose her good reputation in the early 19th century. <u>Yet, we would be mistaken. Mr. Bennet has quite an indolent character, always choosing the path of least resistance. He does not try to prevent his daughters from acting foolish, from socializing with relatives and the officers stationed in Meryton.</u> His permissiveness is what later allows Lydia to make a huge mistake that almost ruins her sisters. Lydia is invited by an officer's wife to accompany them to Bath. Elizabeth quickly goes to her father and asks him to forbid Lydia's trip. He, however, hopes that Lydia will realize her own insignificance upon going to Bath with the others. <u>He dismisses Elizabeth's concerns only to be surprised by Lydia's eloping with Mr. Wickham.</u> At that time, if a girl eloped, she was regarded as sinful, and tainted the reputation of her sisters, preventing them from finding husbands.
