Slap-Boxing With Jesus

The Price Of Fortune

Q and A time, peoples: what would it cost if you found a means of getting seriously gwopped up and draped out on some Coming To America, “I have my own country” type of shit? If it meant doing something you otherwise wouldn’t think of, like murdering a loved one or jerking your closest friends, would you still be able to go through with it?

Some people will not hesitate to say yes quickfast, but I honestly believe that there’s always going to be that morally conscious side that tells us not to, even if only for a second. Given that I reconnected with my own conscience earlier this year, I wouldn’t have had a second thought to royally fuck over somebody I felt deserved it. And believe me, I can name a couple schmucks who are more than deserving the Holy Hand of Fire, if not more.

Then again, therein lies the problem with having a conscience: said conscience will never let you sleep peacefully knowing that you pulled some fucked up stunt to get into a higher position of power. Which essentially comes down to the original questions I proposed. And at this point now, unless said person in question was a societal or personal virus that needed to be expunged, I likely could not fuck anybody over for a financial gain.

I’m likely in a minority group of people, however. The reason I proposed this food for thought is because I just read an article on the most powerful celebrities in the world according to Forbes, and while I’d like to believe that the people who made the list had a similar train of thought as myself I’m pretty sure they didn’t, hence why they made the list to begin with, not to mention that some of their, errr, discretions, have more or less been publicized. For example, the writer failed to make a mention of Oprah’s – who reached the top spot for the second consecutive year – endeavors in South Africa, where her school for women, which I’ve always assumed was nothing more than a front for an illegal blood diamond operation, was under fire when one of the matrons was caught giving the love below into some of the students, nor does it make a note of Jay-Z essentially bending Dame Dash over and going in dry while yoking him for damn near every business the two had together, leaving duke with nothing more than the clothes on his back and a truckload of ugly-ass, clear Pro Keds to try to make a living off of.

I’m not gonna front as if I wouldn’t think twice about Effing someone in the Ay fiscally if it meant that I’d stand to make a huge come up, however. But I’m pretty sure I couldn’t sleep at night at least a few times a year knowing what I did to get there. The slightly disturbing thing about all of this is that despite banking upwards of over a quarter billion dollars, some of these people are still going in on that gwop, which makes me shudder at the thought of the limit, if any, they supposedly have when trying to cake up. Oh, the depravity of it all.
