Keeping My Spirit Strong

From my writings in 1974:

I must keep my Spirit strong which is equal to a strong mind. (To discover how a diseased mind works is a dangerous thing to do). A pimp will scare the girl into giving him money. He won't stop with a little – he will demand more and more. The meaner he is to her – the more money he will get from her. Only the weak mind gives in to this sort of trickery and domination. It is better to be dead than to have an idiot control one's mind. “I am a pimp. You pay me money to be your man. You don't waste my time. I want the money now. If you haven't got paid, give me what you have on you now – you Bitch. Listen to me, Bitch. I'll be back at 2:00 a.m.; and you better have me some money or you better leave the state. I know where you work and where you live. The money at 2:00 or else. You hear me, Bitch?”

A pimp tries to put words in your mouth. He says you have said things that you really did not say. He turns and twists everything around to suit his purpose. It takes a strong mind and a lot of nerve to deal against a pimp without being overtaken by him.

Concerning customers – It doesn't matter what they look like, what size, shape, or color – or what they smell like just as long as they buy that drink.
