I love my Sister...

I just wanted to say that!!!! I will most definitely be posting my reasons why...but i have to go to work, and there is no wi-fi there...lol

So, until then...keep smiling!!!

was redd foxx really at peace at the time of his transformation to the other side?

   whilst having a discussion with my friend last night about the trials and tribulations (unjustly functions) of all of the happenings of today, there was a question that came up..."was redd foxx actually at peace when he passed away because he was left with nothing"??? 

   i actually pondered on this question during my regularly scheduled walk home...and i decided to create a blog surrounding our conversation. 

   my question to anyone reading within the vision of this blog, is having many possessions worth the harmony of your internal and eternal well being? are all the things we work so diligently to gain the virtue of our very existence? 

   the essential reasons a number of humans wish to obtain  stupendous amounts of possessions is because we are constantly reminded of this "american dream" that we are to create for ourselves.  if one doesn't achieve this level of stature, they are deemed as "poor" or "lower class". even the youth encounter this issue.  going to school is pure hell for some if they don't have the new trainers on...(unless you acknowledge the goth culture)...lol

with that being said...this is why many schools now require uniforms for students...

   anyways, the question i pose would be as simple as this-are folks really content with the lives they live when it comes to not maintaining the more balanced simple life? yes, there comes some issues with not having much (the struggle is at times a thorn in many of sides), but the art of survival is usually most sought after when tragedy strikes (i am pretty assured fellow readers comprehend this statement). i am at ease to know that i have survived the struggle to be aware of what is to come when i have that ability to have access to this "dream"...

   what i have noticed is that rich folks have short lived marriages (and alimony payments up the arse), while the couples that outlived the struggle gained a substantial amount of wisdom

and have learned to appreciate the time that the universe has bestowed upon them.

   one of the major issues surrounding a death such as redd foxx's (no resources, money, etc) would be issues of the will. the most nervewracking  event following someone's demise.  i actually witnessed events such as these accompanying my stepfather's death. it was an ugly sight, i tell ya!!! he had nothing to go by, so family members just did anything at free will. i was unaware of the process it takes during and after funeral arrangements (until then-but i still think it took a year to fully comprehend)... 

   so, my opinion is that i do feel many folks are content to rid the scornful ways of "the dream", and when it is their time to exit the building, they are happy to run with the theory of "you can't take it with you when you die"...

do i feel redd foxx was happy around this time? yes!!! (now i may be incorrect in saying so, but it is a feeling)...
