The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave by Frederick Douglass: should I fret? I can bear as much as any of them.
Besides, I am but a boy, and all boys are bound to
some one. It may be that my misery in slavery will
only increase my happiness when I get free. There
is a better day coming."
Thus I used to think, and thus I used to speak
to myself; goaded almost to madness at one mo-
ment, and at the next reconciling myself to my
wretched lot.
