No matter how much you try you will never escape the madness of your reality



This brings up another life lesson that blacks need to understand.


Yesterday Stephon Marbury was on his 24 hour internet show he has in his house.


He ranted on for a long time about God knows what.


He put his finger in some vaseline and ate it.


Then he just started crying for a few minutes all of a sudden.


When i heard about his tirade i really felt sorry for the guy.


Then i realized why he acted the way he did and i still felt saoory for him even more.


Marbury used to be one of the best ball players in the league.


He was easily in the top 20 every year in scoring.


His career started to drop slowly and last year he hardly scored two points a game in the playoffs.


Obviously he was feeling a lot of pressure (and the drugs (probably e-pills) didnt help much either).


The lessons i got from this tirade was that money obviously doesnt buy happiness and you need to have a goals you are always striving for.


Rich people get rich and just stop striving for anything because they feel that having lots of money should sufficient.


It's not.


You ever heard the saying that "an idle mind is a devils workshop?"


This is what happens when you dont have over arching long term goals that you are struggling mightily tp achieve.


The mind will turn against itself without a clear purpose.


This happened with Rick James.


This man made so much money in the 80's that he didnt have to make any more money for the rest of his life.


He didnt have any goals so he just said "let's party" and smoked his brain out with drugs and crack.


He died young because his body couldnt handle the constant abuse.


You need long term hard to reach goals or you are going to kill youself.


It's just as simple as that.

So true! I'm a New Yorker and I thought the way they Knicks treated Stephon was terrible. I'm sure that didn't help any. It's a shame that he went from sitting on top of the world to eating vaseline.

Money definitely does not equal happiness.
