Last week I walked through the Amsterdamse Poort with a homie of mine.
We came from the supermarket and couldn’t wait to get home to eat some of the snacks we had bought. As we moved towards our destination we bumped into a homeless man. You could tell by looking at the whole model that he wanted to ask for our money, so I started digging around in my pockets for some change. I was having a nice discussion with my husband, so to avoid interrupting our conversation, I thought I’d get ahead of myself. When my homie saw that, he told me not to give that man anything, and I asked why, considering my change wasn’t for a better purpose at the time. Me homie then said: “Noo, man. Because that man is ultimately going to buy drugs with it.”
I’ll tell you honestly, because I hear this argument far too often. Leave that, man! What I do in a case like this is not the point here. Your left hand doesn’t have to know what you’re giving with your right hand. But if someone asks you on the street for a little odje that you can spare, you just have to give it, man. We live in a world of abundance, so if you can help the injured party, just do it, period. Regardless of what that man is going to do with that money, you just have to give it to him. The final score changed that whole discussion about ballie, because I had to coach that man of mine.
We at Smibanese University believe and live in line with the laws of the Universe. One of these laws is the law of abundance. Gado has designed that libi in such a way that there is enough of everything. In principle, there is enough of everything, because the law of supply and abundance always ensures that what is needed is supplemented. Scarcity in any respect is never intended by the higher power, and always arises from human actions. People are greedy, stingy and all that lame ass behaviour. The universe itself sprinkles abundance. If you move from a greedy, stingy mindset, sooner or later it’s going to fuck you up, because you’re unconsciously manifesting what you fear.
Those who want to sail along with these laws comply with that shit in every respect. In that respect, being generous is a duty, because you are counterproductive to the laws of nature if you are not. Energy flows and circulates constantly through all of us. When your generosity mixes with the flow of life, the universe will give you shit back in one way or another. And this doesn’t mean you have to give to take. You have to care about caring. Thinking and acting in abundance means that you will enjoy the abundance, because you attract it. Stingy people have little because they act as if they have little. As above so belowdo you understand?
When I explained this to my homie, he understood, but he didn’t agree with me in this context, so I resigned myself to it when we arrived at his crib. Once inside, he tells me that because of my bullshit he forgot that he still had to visit the coffee shop. Ironic, because in the end he also takes drugs himself, hahahaha.
