Good EVENING!
What up people? How ya livin'? What's the WORD! Yo last week was CRAZY. So much going on and a lot of opportunities being opened. God works in mysterious ways bruthaz and sistaz. Ultimately a chain of events took place that has opened many doors of opportunity to appear before me. Props to POPS yo! I tell ya. But check this quick kool story: Trump (yes the Donald Trump) said to me yesterday something like: "I'd like to be your manager." Yo, that blew so many peeps away. It didn't hit me really until people started coming up to me saying, "whoa!" I also started being called, "the voice." heh. This all happened in a span of 3 minutes or so. aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.
- Proverbs 26:20
Word! That's basic potnas. It doesn't get any simpler than that. If there is no wood... there is no fire. But once you start feeding wood to the fire, that fire gets bigger, hotter, and violent. Now apply that to quarrels and fights. It's the same deal yo! If ya got beef with someone, and it erupts into a fight, there is gonna be some problems. And if ya didn't settle it before the day is gone (like da Word elsewhere suggests), ya might have even more problems... cuz it festers. But yo, once the gossiping starts, potna you just opened a whole other can o' worms.
Checkit, a quarrel is between two peeps (or more). If these two peeps can't come to terms, then a third party might be necessary. But if instead of working toward a resolution, one of these two peeps starts gossiping about the situation to all kinds o' peeps, the world has been given access to a relational info it may have no business knowing. In fact, the situation has now been hugely complicated. Not only will tempers flare if the other person finds out about the gossip, but lies will begin to emerge. That story will soon begin to entertain events that NEVER happened! Like a blind purple people eater or some stuff. Things will get blown WAY out of proportion. And just like feeding wood to a relatively calm fire, the gossip will turn a manageable quarrel into this explosive, violent, and vicious ordeal laying waste all parties involved. Why would we ever want to worsen our pain? It makes NO sense, none! But for some reason some people like relationship crushing, life destroying pain.
What's the takeaway? Let's practice some sense bruthaz and sistaz! Let's not willingly increase our pain or complicate our lives. That's not where Pops wants us to live. Life would be the pits yo! Naw, let's kick the gossiping to the curb so that quarrels can die down. And that way we can live in the enjoyment of life, the exact place Pops wants us all to be.
Aight potnas! Gotta bounce, PeACE!
