Quote by Malcolm X
It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.
Summary
This quote uses the analogy of coffee being too strong and the addition of cream to explain the concept of balance. It suggests that when something is overpowering or intense (like strong coffee), we can dilute it or integrate it with something milder (cream) to find a more optimal state. However, it warns that excessive dilution can result in losing the essence or impact of the original matter. By relating this idea to coffee, it conveys the importance of finding a balance in life and not going to extremes in any direction.
