Making Friends With Fake People

Repost (Richard Ash)

You can’t make Real Friends with Fake People #RichInfo

This was too good NOT to post. Fake & Real is like oil & water, it can’t & won’t mix. Either real people will become fake or fake people become real, but should anyone want to risk that? I hope not.

God’s Blessings Are Not Contingent

God won’t stop blessing you because people don’t like you!

 EVERYONE has tried to fix something they had no business messing with.

Tyre Nichols: Takeaways From His Death

Not long ago, 5 Memphis officers were charged in Tyre Nichols' death. A 6th officer was also fired, which makes me think this was deep.

Takeaways from Tyre Nichols death:

1. The 5 Memphis officers have JUST put their families at risk. If the officers are not tried & convicted, then Nichols' family may be looking for street justice. The officers' families may require 24-7 police protection or for their safety, they may have to leave Memphis. Even if the officers' families leave Memphis, will they be safe anywhere? If the slain person's family feels they haven't gotten justice through the courts, then they may handle it themselves.

2. ALREADY...some people are saying the officers' families are victims. Let's stop the narrative of saying the criminals' families are victims when THEIR loved one victimizes somebody. The REAL victims are Nichols' family, because they will never see their loved one again.

3. Actions have consequences. When you do wrong, not only will you pay (now or later), but so will your loved ones. Nowadays, if someone has pressure for you, and they can't get to you, they will go after your loved ones. 

Mind Your Business

It takes wisdom to know when to mind your business, and when to get involved. For me, if someone tells me to mind my business, I give them what they want. If they get jammed up, their blood won't be on my hands. Why would it be? They didn't want me meddling in their affairs, and I didn't. If asked, I'll send a prayer on their behalf, but that's as far as it goes. Remember, most people don't want anyone in their business if it doesn't affect them. 

Ghetto Drama: One Of Us Must Go

Ghetto logic: If I can’t feed my family & you can, one of us gotta go. 

If another man is feeding his family, what makes you think he’s not prepared to kill you to continue feeding his family? 

Better yet, get on your hustle and stop trying to take what another man has. These cats in the hood are something else.😒 

Today’s Message: Opened Eyes

If unconditional love & forgiveness isn't staying with someone through 2 health crises, I don't know what is. Truth be told, I see why the younger generation is less likely to tolerate foolishness from a significant other because unlike the older generation, younger people have more options whereas back in our parents/grandparents time, there weren't a lot of resources for an abused spouse to leave. A man could take care of his family & still feel entitled to dog his wife.😒. My eyes were opened to a lot in my 40 years of life.
