With trials, you become wiser. You learn more about yourself and the people surrounding you. Me personally, I've never been the type of person to judge anyone over wrongdoing, no matter what it is. I'm just not a judgmental person.
The wisest of the wise may err.
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.
Self-will in the man who does not reckon wisely is by itself the weakest of all things.
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
When Tupac turned thirteen, we were homeless on that day. His theater club gave him a party. Sometimes I do wonder that if I hadn't gone on with fool-heartedness, my son would have had an easier transition into this life. But at least I was able to keep art there. Otherwise he would've had no way to get his feelings out.
I've performed in Japan before, as well as many other non-English speaking countries. I find you really just have to be a bit more animated than usual. Call-and-response routines work well, if they are simple. Otherwise, I just dance around like a circus monkey and hope the crowd feels it.
