Notes &
the conversation of a lifetime [and I want your thoughts.]
I had this thought after watching “Notorious” - the movie inspired by the life and death of Christopher Wallace..aka Notorious B.I.G. aka.. “Biggie Smalls” [And really taken aback by the fact he was killed at the age of 24]
I was thinking on Tupac Shakur and the likes…the seeming revolutionaries that lived life too short and too fast. Killed by the very thing they were speaking at and against…the fact that they were sharing with us what the world had put upon them. [And granted, the harm and disrespect that came out of those views..]
But what this led to…was a thought about a conversation.
I thought about people sitting at a table, and these were the attending participants:
MLK Jr.
Malcolm X
Gandhi
Tupac
John Lennon
& Mother Teresa
And granted, mostly everyone at this table had been killed by some sort of lunatic or radical extremist - but I threw Momma T in there because I believe she to be equally important in this conversation.
I am not deeply knowledgeable about any one person at this table…but I figure maybe some of you have some idea about who would totally dig each other and who would have issues -
Everyone at this table was revolutionary is one way or the other - mostly all of them seeking peace in various philosophies and practices, yet most of them differ by religion and personal belief.
I believe all of these people in one way or the other had a passion for justice and love - who all had huge hearts for humanity and equality.
With their love of humanity, and their personalities so different, yet inspired by their will to change society - what topics would come up? How would they be constructive…or who would call someone out..?
Personally, I’d love to see Tupac and Momma T hang — I think they’d have more in common than we’d think.
