I have things, many things that must be properly dealt with. I'm not into money. money is lame, it's fake it's a non-joke of a handcuff. don't feed from money, nor fame. fame is a flash, a magic trick that isn't real and doesn't last for very long, fame has no longevity, it's like a really, really, expensive drug that can kill you.
I'm into talent. Greatness.
Be great at some talent.
Learn. Study. Love. Live. Your talent. Your gifts. Give to the natural talent and it gives back to you, more ten fold a spring of seven, honest time never is never wasted.
True talent and blessing give value to life.
Live to be good.
That's what I think.
I.
I am one of 6 billion living, breathing, dreaming humans on earth, 6 billion and change.
250 and promises americans.
250 million people from Cali to New Yaark.
This world is bizarre. Beyond the beyond. One greathall of life.
Long Live Love Long Live Love.

I used to be into money and fame, too. And like Thor, I got into talent, instead.
But shortly before I met Christy, I started to notice that a lot of the people I knew who had genuine talent didn't seem able to do anything with it, and didn't really work at honing it -- while people I knew who lacked those natural gifts were turning out great work by, well, working.
So I think I'm more into dedication, now, than anything else.

Excellent sentiments, Thor. I must concur.

Talent is highly overrated.
Tom's got the right of it, in my opinion: dedication will evolve eventually into talent.
Love is the same way. I don't love you until I dedicate myself to serving you. The more I serve, the more I love.

Money should not be denied. It should not be ignored. It should not be ridiculed.
It is the necessity of necessities to survive in society.
It forms our frame of reference for the value of things, but only compared to other things.
A dollar is not worth any amount of love, or the smile on your child's face, or a good song.
It does help you put a smile on your child's face, listen to a good song, or spend time with those you love.
Money has no intrinsic value. It is waste paper we keep in our pockets, to rough to use as toilette paper, to dirty to use to blow our noses.
Hence the skill of making money for the sake of making money is a silly thing.
To some, their talent is the use and understanding of money.
I will not deny anyone the use of their talent.
As long as it does not hurt anyone. As long as it does not kill anyone. As long as it does not take from anyone the money they need,
they need to listen to their music they need to put a smile on a child's face they need to spend time with those they love they need to survive in this society.
Power is dangerous. Power is the corrupter. Money is dangerous only to the amount that it is power, that it corrupts.
