Tupac Shakur – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com Current Affairs Wed, 28 Sep 2022 20:59:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://i0.wp.com/selfequanimity.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SE-Copy.png?fit=32%2C32 Tupac Shakur – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com 32 32 176655959 A virtuous Woman? http://selfequanimity.com/1893-2/ http://selfequanimity.com/1893-2/#respond Wed, 28 Sep 2022 20:52:37 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1893 This question is a universal one although I can say it’s directed to men, but for both. How many of us like to be told the truth, and I mean the truth no matter how much it hurts? How many of us believe in loyalty?  How many of us really believe in a selfless kind of love? these are very simple questions but the answers to these questions are as complicated as calculus.

    We claim we value the truth, but everyone has a level of truth they can handle, for instance, a woman who claims she cheated on her husband /boyfriend/man, was just trying to get back at him. the question is, is that really true???  Or was that just an excuse to do it ???  One man said in his song that “revenge is the sweetest joy next to getting sex” well how about this? what if they are one and the same ??? the thing is most men don’t cheat and blame it on revenge, because (another truth that has been skipped over) a relationship without forgiveness wasn’t a relationship to being with, was a master-slave agreement. 

    Almost every day we hear it all the time, about how corporations are lying to us so they can get us to buy more, about how we are not told the real price of one item or the other and end up spending more money than we were supposed to.  Now let us apply the same idea here,   well in today’s world it seems an escort tells more truth than the average woman because with an escort what you see is what you get, and you don’t have to go through the emotional pain of knowing that she just slept with another man, your best friend, etc.. you already know,  there is an understanding, to begin with, and no one tries to manipulate the other into “bed”. Everything the average woman uses to enhance her beauty is the same as the escort uses,  they go to the hairdressers, they buy attractive clothing, and some go as far as plastic surgery. The most important thing about all this is that , you won’t spend more than you have to …… example is, won’t you rather pay for something upfront than a required subscription, because in the long run, (actuaries would tell you this) subscriptions make more money. Take a gym membership that one has forgotten but is still being deducted from an individual account!

We as a human species must evaluate ourselves, and our emotions for I can safely say we live in strange times when the virtuous woman is the one that has a job most of us wouldn’t do but somehow it is emotionally fulfilling when we do what they do for FREE!

Will Smith, Chris Rock & Michael Jackson http://selfequanimity.com/will-smith-chris-rock-michael-jackson/ http://selfequanimity.com/will-smith-chris-rock-michael-jackson/#respond Tue, 29 Mar 2022 14:27:05 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1701 Oh how the mighty have fallen!!! Yesterday was the night of the Oscars, you know the award show where  Hollywood decides to give itself awards without us the people ? but when a movie is released it is we the people who spend money to watch it but that is a topic for another time.  Let me jump straight into it , Chris Rock who is a professional comedian, made a joke about Will Smith’s wife, (Jada Pinkett-Smith) for those who don’t know Will Smith is a mega star who was also a nominee. All jokes aside, I think Chris Rock was respectful, he started by saying Jada I love you, then proceeded with the joke. The interesting part of it all is that when the camera was on Will Smith, he was laughing and clapping at the joke, but when the camera moved to Jada Smith, she did not find it funny, Chris Rock continued with his presentation, as he was speaking we all saw Will walk towards the stage , even he wasn’t prepared for what was about to happen, to his surprise he was smacked by Will Smith , after that slap , he walked back to his seat, and shouted some harsh words for Chris Rock.

 

Jada, Chris & Will

Some say Chris Rock shouldn’t have made a joke like that when he knew very well that Jada Pinkett Smith, had a medical condition.  Interestingly enough , Will Smith thought that was funny initially, but his demeanor changed in a split second especially when he saw that Jada didn’t find it too funny,  So one question I ask is when did Will Smith become “gansta” Will?

 Oh Only when Jada is concern, Will Smith has to suddenly transform into Tupac?   Smith was out of line if you ask me. People are still saying he was joking about a known medical condition , to which I reply, remember Michael Jackson??? Michael Jackson had a known medical condition too, yet most people made jokes about him? He had vitiligo, he first wore one glove to cover it up , (most people thought it was a fashion statement) then he started lightning his skin to even his skin complexion, because vitiligo  will leave spots one’s skin. There is no cure for Vitiligo, that did not change people’s perception and most still found it funny.

He was the joke of the century. So how was it ok for  people , to make fun of Michael Jackson , to the point where they thought he didn’t want to be black. How is it not ok to joke about Jada, and like Chris Rock said that was a nice one,  but everyone Joked about Michael???  Or was it that Michael was more deserving of it. We as a people shouldn’t pick and choose who deserves what , based upon who we like at the moment. 

He didn’t have this energy for her “entanglement”, he didn’t even smack August Alsina, for coming into his matrimonial home and sleeping with his wife. Someone answer this question for me , which is more twisted? the fact that Will did what he did in front of their children or the fact that a married woman slept with her son’s friend???  well your guess is as good as mine. Chris Rock was very classy about the situation if you ask me !!!!!. 

So it’s ok to sleep with his wife , as long as you are not making jokes about her. In his acceptance speech, he almost described it as abuse, but he didn’t have these harsh words for August, we never heard him say “Keep your f—— hands of my wife”!!!!!!!!!!. SICK AND TWISTED

Will Smith was out of line , but I do believe there is a big possibility that this was staged, regardless of if it was staged or not, this made black men look bad, maybe this is to get Chris Rock on Red table talk, who knows. Will Smith is the kind of black guy people wanted their sons to be like , even when he was a rapper , He was non violent , Even Eminem said it with that famous line “Will Smith don’t got to cuss in his records, well I do” and he was the first rapper to win a Grammy award, now we have this……Will Smith shouting F- Words like Tupac????. Funny enough Jada Smith was “friends” with Tupac.

The point is there were 2 different Will Smiths, that night, the one who thought the joke was funny and the one who thought he should do something because his wife was upset. In his acceptance speech , he said Love make you do crazy things, to that I agree.

He still loves this woman , but he has some deep issues and Chris Rock is not to blame for that.

Funny Chris Rock even dressed up as a woman on “Fresh prince of Bel Air”. They have been friends for a long time, so what happened ??? this is the question that anyone with half a brain should be asking.

Let us pay attention to the mood swings, they did not want Kanye West at award shows because of his ONLINE behavior, we also remember when Kanye and Taylor Swift had that confrontation.

Do We seriously think Will would have done the same thing , if it was someone like Jimmy Fallon making a joke like that ?

Jimmy Fallon

and I know what people are going to say but if you have listened to Jimmy Fallon’s jokes, he has said worse things about people. People always joke about public figures, no matter what they are going through.

One minute Will Smith was laughing next he was so angry, and finally he was crying ,  hmm And we all thought Kanye was the crazy one!!!!!
