Even as children we crave for attention! We need it and some of us feel that we will die if we don't get it. True babies need hugs, kisses and to feel loved, adored and appreciated. Society shows us clearly what happens when
pittbulls who can be friendly are ignored, kicked, punched and locked down. What happens is they become beasts, natural born killers whom are ready to die or kill on instinct or command.
I'm purposely drawing a parallel between animals and people because we like animals fight
for supremacy, food, economics, reputation, fame, money, shock value and all of it boils
down to ATTENTION.
ATTENTION: How much is too much? Today we see entertainers like 50 Cent calling out different artists like Rick Ross, bringing Rick's baby momma on his
Thisis50.com show to expose
Ricks mistreatment of his wife, lack of child support, taking Ricks x-wife out & implying that he will be sleeping with her. Why? Why is an artist like 50 Cent or Curtis attacking anyone within range? What does it do for him when he mentions that he has the power to destroy another mans life? What does he or anyone accomplish in such foolishness? Let's be clear 50 Cent, Mr. G Unit is a business man and he understand Muhammad Ali 101 "Get the people talking; it draws ATTENTION ladies & gentlemen to a hot artist & guess who yours truly 50 Cent.
ATTENTION via news, blogs, commentaries, articles,
tv,
internet, radio, television, magazines, banners, posters,
flyers, magnets, billboards, newspapers, graphics and audio or visual images worldwide are all designed to generate cash money, even though 50 Cent Music isn't playing as HOT as he once was he has partnered with different businesses to keep his paper flow rolling From Floyd "Money"
Mayweather to "The 50 Laws of Power" book 50 is co-authoring & promoting; along with Vitamin Water which is horrible an off brand of Gatorade however 50 understands the media ATTENTION BUSINESS.
There are many examples other than rappers such as Muhammad Ali Vs George
Forman, Sugar Ray
Leonard Vs Tommy "HitMan"
Hearns, Tyson Vs
Holyfield,
Eminem Vs Nick Cannon,
Stevey Harvey Vs
Katt Williams, Jamie
Foxx Vs LL Cool J, Game Vs Jay Z,
Beyonce vs Kari
Hilson, Tupac Vs Biggie, Jesus Vs Satan and the list goes on. What does ATTENTION bring? Answer is PEOPLE. PEOPLE bring numbers just as a preacher requests his congregation to invite somebody, tell somebody or as a telemarketer makes calls from a list of contacts to hopefully land the calls that lead to dividends that make profit.
The down side to attention is that what goes up sooner or later comes down or grows old. The reality of beef or ATTENTION whether good or bad is that it delivers are drives BIG BUSINESS. You can track it back to the beginning of time; there has always been
conroversy or ATTENTION to the latest trends or fads even young men who in my view need a real beat down when they have children that they are pushing in a stroller as they have pants hanging from under their rumps to reveal
thier underwear; which they know is obscene is because they crave attention even negative attention is better than NONE to some. Blame it on how you were raised
when you were coming up; poor me and what I had to go through as a kid; Counseling wouldn't be a bad idea or some form of intervention to prevent self destruction or expressed hate upon others that will get you locked up. Personal responsibility we all must own when we GROW UP... Replacing those negative thoughts in your head is vital however it gets done it must be done & all that self pity feeling sorry for yourself when you look around many people are in worse circumstances & made it anyway against all odds.
What about when a young man
gets tired of being picked on or tired of being labeled good for nothing; whom is often ignored as if he or she is a ghost; the kid or adult
that's lonely, sad, depressed, angry, given up on life pursuits, dreams or just ready to die. The kid who goes into a mall, a school, a concert, a carnival, a church during praise and worship to spray the crowd with a AK 47 or a machine gun. WHY? Why are people doing these things that are good and bad? The reason I think is that they want ATTENTION and/or want to be known for something because this life labeled them average or good for nothing.
Face it many people have lived and died; some lived fantastic lives who never received any lime light, praise or ATTENTION of any kind but managed through life in the ordinary. Look at the 12 disciples whom were all ordinary men whom God used to showcase extraordinary works through basic everyday people.
100 years from now the beef, this man vs that man, that woman vs that woman or man wont matter. The ATTENTION don't matter but when it delivers harm and death to people that's when it's too much. So how much is enough ATTENTION?
