A thought from Mr. Kaotic

your meaning in life will ultimately be determined by what u do/did and how u effect those around you, your reason however, is what ever you set out for it to be. the two won't always don't always agree with each other, such is life. think for a second if u define reason and meaning you may get two similar but very different answers. 

asking someone what's the reason for something is and what something means isn't quite the same thing.

to some people life doesn't mean anything and still their reason for living whether it be bad or good will fall to those who are left behind solely because that's the only time where it can be properly determined, because at that time the life has fully ended.

one could argue that others wouldn't know the whole story to make the right call and that's also life and why unity between people is important. (thas another story) but at the same time how you end your life i think carry's more weight then how you start it. even though we don't control the time, it happens at least to some degree you can make at least some decisions on your ending.

for example you can be a thief your whole life and with your last breath save a few people I think to some degree esp if you don't know the story of the thief you have to give him/her the benefit of doubt, and to most people he has atoned for stealing, at least some. and so also asking one's reason for living is also BIT different from asking ones purpose which equates a little to "a benefit of others factor" and that's determined purely by choices we make and chance not any other force man made or machine.

Love thoughts: Jennifer H.

What is love NOT?

Possessiveness is not love
Jealousy is not love
Lust is not love
Fear is not love
Keeping people all to yourself is not love
Expecting something from someone is not love
Real, true love is unconditional. All other “kinds” of love are not really love. Most parents and kids don’t love each other, most people in relationships don’t love each other, most people on the planet never experience unconditional love in their entire lives… or at least it sure looks that way.

To love someone unconditionally means that you love the person exactly as they are, exactly as they were before, and exactly as they will be in the future – because people change all the time, so if you love the person, you will love them even if they become something you disagree with. How many parents can say that about their kids? How many people can say that about their “lover”? Love is not about you or your pleasure or your amusement. It’s not about what you get out of it or what the other person can give to you. It’s not about having a trophy you can show off with and tell people “This is *MY* girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/son/daughter/whatever”. You do not “own” anyone. It’s not about you feeling ‘proud’ to be with someone who always agrees with everything you say and do and never does anything you disagree with. Unconditional love means that the person can just live their life exactly as they choose and you will always be there for them no matter what.

So, how does unconditional love fit in with relationships and marriage and sex and all that stuff the whole world keeps going crazy over? It doesn’t, really. It doesn’t “fit” in anywhere. Relationships are like trying to put love into a box and keep it there, except love is infinitely sized, and the box is… well, there is no box large enough. And a normal, conventional marriage is quite possibly the worst possible way to show someone how much you love them.

Unconditional love is more of a spiritual thing. It’s not bound by physical things, like blood relations and the desire to procreate. It has nothing whatsoever to do with sex. Most people are in relationships because they’re horny and/or lonely, even if they genuinely think they love the other person. But if the person they “love” suddenly lost their “equipment” for whatever reason, would they still want to be with that person? Would they get jealous if the person they “love” wanted to spend time with other people as well? Relationships based on needs are not unconditional.

In order to truly understand love, you must first forget everything you have ever learned about it from society and anyone else (including what I just said). You are the only person who can tell you what love is. The only reason I’m writing all this stuff is because people always try to fit “love” in with things like dating, relationships and marriage and all that. You can’t make any sense of it if you keep doing that. You have to get rid of everything you think you know first.

A thought from Kiona

I usually try to refrain from venting and saying how I truly feel in order to keep up appearances that I am sane lol! However this needs to be said…As I look around at the youth today I get sad not because the world is changing for the worst and they will have to endure it but because we did it to them! A wise person once told me that if you see yourself pointing a finger to blame then you should notice the three pointing back at you. That has never rang more true to me s it did today, I was in the market and a random female with her two daughters just sparked up a conversation with me about how lazy our children are these days and how we used to have so much fun as kids playing ACTUAL games like hopscotch and hide and seek red light green light etc. schools don’t even have recess anymore because the children “seemed uninterested” we’ve got to do better parents! My son held the door for a lady the other day and she seemed shocked….WHY? When I was younger my male cousins and uncles better not have saw a woman especially an older woman needing help and didn’t at least offer. I hear so many people my age and my mom’s age saying how things used to be different and this needs to change that needs to change….so why not change it? I KNOW I’m creating change! My boys are gentleman my girls are ladies! Girls used to not be able to play with a group of boys even if they were her brothers now girls are younger and younger in boys’ faces. Mothers could cook and clean while their children played outside w/o the fear that they would be shot or corrupted by gangs. Dealers and hustlers even respected women and children. I can’t count how many times as a kid if something was going down or about to someone would walk by and warn the mothers to take their kids inside! Now regardless of whose outside they just shoot or what ever else, hustlers would send boys home scared if they tried to do what they were doing but now they target children to be their lackeys because they would do less time I mean really? MEN worked for their family women cooked for their household. People helped each other w/o looking for anything in return and we were a unit! Look at us now, the “Superior race” watches and enjoys us killing each other like lab rats in a horrible experiment. Yet we think we are progressing…in a world of evolution we are going backwards for what? Are we trying to make ourselves extinct are we trying to deplete our existence? What have you done to help your family today? Not just your kids but your FAMILY! I have nieces and nephews godchildren and children that I live everyday for. I think of new ways to make their life better and make their future the one I miss the one that made me feel safe in this world of people that only want us to fail! This is not to put down races or anything like that but we can do better yall! I live in a complex that is 80% (at least) Indian and they are a NEIGHBORHOOD they ban together none of them need if the others have yet we can see our family and friends need and keep it moving why? If it doesn’t hurt you to help what’s your excuse? Its not too late we can still make a change we can still be the dream the Martin Luther King Jr had if we believe….I know my future the future of my kids grand kids and anyone else that I have ever encounter is worth the effort of me rising up and taking a stand. We all stood when Trayvon Martin was shot but who stood when the boy was shot just now or now or now? It’s not others killing our future it’s US we are killing us and it must end NOW it brings me to tears daily watching what we’ve become and for what? What are we gaining being what we are? It used to be if your child was outside cursing and performing an elder would correct them now if that happens the mother comes outside to perform worst because “nobody corrects my child” what is it hurting? Do we want ignorance to take over? Do we want our girls to think that their mind is not NEARLY as important as their looks or our boys to think its lame to get a job when you can make money on the corner w your “friends” all day? WE MUST TAKE A STAND AND DO BETTER! If you don’t think your children deserve better do nothing but if you KNOW that they not only deserve it but are ENTITLED to it then make a change TODAY not tomorrow because that’s not promised. Help us get back to the royalty from which we came, I know I am raising kings and queens are you?
fly away get away lets close our eyes and disappear for today
for life is useless and death is a promise
i make heaven out of hell
if you get out alive, that’s a bonus

fly away get away lets close our eyes and disappear for today
for life is useless and death is a promise
i make heaven out of hell
if you get out alive, that’s a bonus

[Verse 2 - iRo 1:21 - 1:59]

the government want us all locked up and dead
thats why i don't give a fuck about what they said...
The world coming slowly but surely to an end.
time 2 embrace fam, love and friends.
lord forgive us we had no choice but to sin
thank god for giving me what i need within
without u life wouldnt be bearable
wen i get up there g
believe ima take care of u
remember when the devil tried to take my soul
you was there keeping me strong
keeping me whole
no matter how many times i’m gone
i’ll always go -
back to myself, escape the black hole
i’m iRo, i’m Jon, i realized i’m not possessed by the doe
realized all along i’m blessed wit fam
big enough to hold shit down
an when we go HAM
there’s no stopping our plan
never snitch be a man
help out when you can
god understands...

[Chorus - FullClip]

fly away get away lets close our eyes and disappear for today
for life is useless and death is a promise
i make heaven out of hell
if you get out alive, that’s a bonus

fly away get away lets close our eyes and disappear for today
for life is useless and death is a promise
i make heaven out of hell
if you get out alive, that’s a bonus

[Verse 3 - iRo]
Fly - away
For the right side I’ll ride today
For every corporation tryna make us slaves
Politician using our money for play
and get everything back the IRS takes
For every alternate path, every way
If you wanna change ya life
gotta change ya mind
Embrace ya third eye
When the end is near
It’s so stupid to fear death
You’ll be somewhere far from here yes
In a better place
With the taste of victory on ya tongue
Death Kings Full Clip and iRo
We have just begun…
Took a quick breath
come back stronger than ever
They said they did their best
Gonna have to do it better
If they wanna fuck wit this
--
Spiritual offering right here
we speak the truth
You got nothing to fear
Fuck making an image
For the people to cheer
I wanna be free by my own definition of the word
Why sit around copycatting you herbs
When I got my own vision
Got my own women
Got my own story to tell
My own life I’ve been living and was given
So until we sent to hell
This is what it’s all about
Death kings full clip and iRo
There’s never been a doubt

..so fly away..
