So.. I know I said I wouldn't be back for another twenty years (just kidding) to blog, but the Lord encouraged me to speak upon a situation a close friend of mine is in. So here goes... (gonna need an entire paragraph for this one)
I have a friend that participates in a sport here at NCCU and he isn't very fond of a particular male on the team. The reason being is because of something the guy said to him at practice which eventually escalated into an argument and somewhat got out of hand (or whatever). Now! My friend wants to set him straight, because the guy is (apparently) going around saying he hit (my friend) him in the face a couple times when they got into the argument. Ok! WHO CARES what the boy said?
Like.. let's think logically.. here's my thing.. my mom has always told me (even to this day) people are going to talk, gossip etc. about you until the day you die. Why jeopardize your future over something so petty or what someone supposedly said (that's probably NOT even true)? 95% of the rumors people spread aren't told correctly from when it was "originally spoken." Someone either didn't understand what they were being told and spread to another person the WRONG information or put their own little twist on the story/rumor.
And.. another thing.. fighting is NOT TOLERATED on NCCU campus (or any other collegiate campus for that matter). I don't care if you do it behind closed doors, its still against the rules! I was informed that anyone attemmpting to fight will be taken downtown (to the po-po station) to be charged! So the question I have to my young readers, viewers etc. is.. is fighting worth getting taken downtown? Is figthing worth risking your future in a sport your really good at? And lastly, is it worth your time? The answer is NO!
NO, NO, NO! People refuse to use their brains! I'm sure the good Lord above wouldn't have blessed us with one, if he didn't think we would need or use it! Be the bigger, maturer young adult by forgetting about the situation and ignoring the person!
Anyway.. my friend didn't care about my opionion on the situation, but you also can't make people change their mind about what they want to do. So in conclusion, when it comes to solving the issues or problems you encounter (throughout life), violence is not the answer.
Make love, not war.
Later cool cats.
Love,
Ashhh
