" Back to the Basics "
Hi, What up My Brothers? I hope you guys are enjoying your Saturday or whatever day you read this. Anyway, I want to talk about something. Today, I want to talk about going back to the basics. Now, before you say what? The past was lame or stupid. No, I not talking about going back into the past. But, going back to the basics of things that brought Us as a people success.
Now, let's go back to the basics.
The basics meaning actually living to support each other, not being so crazy about money, and actually respecting women. What has happened to Us in such a little period of time? Has the system corrupted Us so much that we have left behind every value and moral we had.?
The reason why I bring this up is probably because of a recent trip to the mall. Now, I already don't like the mall; but I began to see society once again from a different set of eyes. I saw brainless zombies just walking with no purpose, language that should never be used in front of women, and another even bigger set of zombies mindlessly tapping or texting on their phone.
As I walked around to precisely and with purpose go buy what I needed; I understand what the mall stand for (A building of capitalism filled with items made from the blood, sweat, and tears of the poor for sale to those who are working hard just to be able to afford a few of this items that society has tricked us into believing will upgrade personal value or the opposite "hide personal flaws.")
As I continued to walk around; I saw life as I know it now. I saw that we have left the very basics of ourselves in the trash cans. We have left from courtship and chivalry to a total lack of manners. We have left family dinners and regular human interaction to now ignoring the person next to you for the love of a phone that you will waste money upgrading in a few months. Even greater than that we have left unity, organization, as well as peace for hate/mistrust/mistreatment. We have left loving, living, and enjoying the very breathe of life. Everything is either superficial, unsatisfactory, or unfulfilling. I position this question to you. Why is life like this or why do you feel this feeling I have just described?
I'm going to answer for you.
It is because, we have left the Basics of Life behind. We have replaced necessities with wants, needs with earthly pleasure, and now we replace love with a superficial as well as artificial substitute. And, believe me this is not me calling anybody out or writing some stupid rant; this is just your Brother telling you that life is too short to be acting the way we acting. Life is too precious to be living the way we living.
We need to start loving again, start uniting as a People again, start striving for excellence and not for just expensive things. We need to go back to the basics.
That's all I'm really trying to say. Therefore, as you finish the rest of your Saturday (or Monday or whatever day) please heed my words. Go back to the basics of life. Start taking things one day at a time, don't let the "system" distract you, and don't let anyone not even yourself pimp "YOU" out.
Love Yourself and Love Others, Protect Yourself and Protect Others, and lets Unite as One.
As always I love Y'all,
Let's live Basic, but never be Basic.
Sincerely,
Your Brother.
