James Brown as a lyric that says, “We’d rather die or our feet, than keep living on our knees.”

     Yet, I do not back away from my earlier thought that no cause (not even freedom) is worth dying for. It is better to allow your body to be enslaved, while your mind seeks any opportunity to become free.
     In death, all is lost, but if the slave can by some means, become free, he may somehow show the other slaves the way to freedom – which is a worthwhile endeavor.
