NF: “
Humbling and Humility” by Rian Nejar
The Holidays are here again! It has been a doozy of a year, hasn’t it?
Smashwords – my first book publishing channel – is holding its annual sale. Many books are 50% off, and some are free. HnH, my first nonfiction on life in America, is on sale for less than a couple of dollars. Find it here, and read reviews here.
Penned more than 10 years ago, this slice-of-life captured my thoughts on a range of social issues and the trials faced by immigrants to America. In light of the recent shooting of the CEO of a much-hated insurance company by a young man, some of my thoughts within – on materialism, and profit as the driver of much activity in America – seem prescient.
Those thoughts came naturally to me as I wrote of my true-life nightmare. Some reviewers have called them “rambling and repetitive,” and some as ‘fierce writing.”
They were just my thoughts, but seem all the more relevant today.
