G-Pop is a bit alarmed that his children have become obsessed with reality:
Reality TV
Reality supposedly showcased in movies.
Reality in politics.
And reality even in relationships among human beings
These darkened perceptions, focusing on the more base and sinister aspects of humanity, have allowed for a quiet cynicism to emerge, coaxing us to resign ourselves to a bit of doom mingled with gloom.
It revolves around a false premise: what is, is.
Once we become thoroughly convinced that the present climate is the norm, we cease to pursue standards which historically have proven themselves essential to the human race.
There was certainly a point in antebellum American when slavery seemed to be entrenched in the culture, never able to be removed. Realism would perhaps have been to accept a North and South United States–one slave and one free.
For those living in Germany in the 1930’s, it absolutely appeared that Nazism was the trend of the future, since they were touting that the dynasty would be around for a thousand years. It would have been easy to say a quiet “Heil Hitler” because you’d given up on the notion of something better.
Yet reality is actually what sane people decide it’s going to be.
When the insane members of our society are promoting virulent and extreme lifestyles as “cutting-edge trends” of natural social evolution, we bog down in apathy and eventually are overtaken by our foolish appetites.
Quite bluntly, I think it’s fine if the Kardashians want to have a television show, as long as they don’t lead people to believe it’s reality.
If you want to watch a bunch of Netflix programs that paint the condition of your fellow humans with blacks, dark grays and navy blues, feel free–as long as you don’t insist it’s “trending.”
We presently are in danger of sacrificing three essential pieces of truth, which hold our species together. Under the “what is, is” philosophy, we now contend:
1. Lying is inevitable
2. Prejudice is a part of our make-up
3. And “mean” is the best way to protect ourselves from being overtaken.
Matter of fact, if you were to talk to anyone under the age of thirty in this country, they would say it is pure idealism to seek truth, overcome prejudice or make a lifestyle of kindness. Any character in a drama who chose such a path would be executed by the writer in the first act.
G-Pop wants his children to know that evil is temporary. It always has been. It blows through town, creates a storm, and when it’s unable to sustain growth, love and talent, it is exposed for the fallacious piece of shit it is.
Read a history book. You’ll find out this is true.
It’s time for G-Pop’s children to rise up and say, “What is, isn’t.“
- It isn’t alright to lie.
- It isn’t natural to be prejudiced.
- And it isn’t of any benefit whatsoever to be mean.
Reality is when we take what’s good–and find a way to make it popular.

G-Pop says this is the opposite of being rough. For some reason rough, tough, overbearing, pushy and unyielding have been deemed virtues in this day and age.
But keep in mind, it is the nature of our species that once vanquished, to return for a rematch with vengeance. ven though everybody knows this–from the kindergarten student to the aging soul in hospice–we still believe that if we do not carry some “punch” with our ideas, nothing will ever get accomplished.
So basically, when there are problems–a hint of difficulty–people fall into three categories of idealism:
1. “It’ll be all right.”
In other words, either God, karma, their talent or just the sheer brute power of the undertaking will push through, take over, and control the day.
2. “We can work it out as we go.”
No, we can’t. What would make us think we’d be more prepared to handle difficulty while rushed, frantic and trapped than we are sitting around sipping tea and eating chicken wings?
3. “If it’s meant to be, it will work.”
Really? G-Pop can tell you right now that most of the beautiful things in this world struggled to gain air. They were rejected simply because someone had cornered the market on a way to subjugate others, and a smooth plan needed to be devised to sidestep the insanity.
So what is the definition of being smooth?
“I will do my planning in the front–because in the middle, what is required is my patience, which is the force that helps me achieve my goal.”
Even though our society speaks of peaceful coexistence, we simultaneously divide into camps and hurl rocks at one another.
Be smooth.
It’s G-Pop’s piece of advice for today.
Don’t leave your planning room until you’re really excited that your plan can be achieved without you losing sight of your purpose.
