    I have let go of so many people due to their slave mentality. I know people who have Masters degrees and complain about not having any money. I have had people question my money habits to encourage me to purchase expensive objects in which I find no value. The great divide has taken place. 2025 will be one of my greatest years because I have let go of all the excess baggage. Thank you for your great messages

      Indeed the great divide is here. In 2024 I let go of a lot of relationships that no longer served me. It's a bit lonely right now, but I would rather be alone than surrounded by fools

    Mrs Fields, Chef Boyardee, and Lonnie Johnson are other good examples. The fact that a rapper is held in esteem and not Lonnie Johnson is a great example of misplaced priorities. Chef Boiardi or Boyardee had to change his name twice because Italians and Italian food was considered low class by the wasps. What all these people have in common is perseverance, even when trying and failing, they kept going at it from different angles. Blaming "the system " is just learned helplessness, and you enforce and assist said system by thinking that way.
    Also great book on your piano!

    The Bible spoke about our people and how we would be a lost and destroyed nation. Read Deuteronomy 28 as well as these scriptures:
    Hosea 4:6 KJV
    My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
    Isaiah 1:3-4 KJV
    The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. [4] Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
    Isaiah 42:22-25 KJV
    But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. [23] Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? [24] Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. [25] Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
    Grace and Peace in Jesus name✌🏽

    Well it could be a 100 reasons why a person making 20 bucks a hour driving a 80k car, I'm sure it's other income coming from somewhere, he or she could be married to a spouse that makes alot more money. I also think when people take time out their day to deep dive into why a person driving a luxury car that's working at a place that don't pay much, is probably somewhat jealous.
