..."mzstephens" like everyone else, has from time to time questioned her own accomplishments and position in life... let me tell y'all what I've learned...

"Big Mama n' dem" was right, ... "chile, just 'cause somebody got a degree, don't mean nothin' if they ain't got no common sense"... So while I may not have accomplished as much as I'd have liked to, personallly I realize I'm 'just as' accomplished, maybe even better off than a whole lotta' folks, some of who've paid exorbitant (whew! there's a big, smart word!) sums of money for their educations. My experiences in life have left me with the impression that there really are people, no matter how extensively educated, that are indeed just "educated fools". It's interesting to watch as they have to speak over everyone else, of course having "all the answers", and they can't stand seeing someone else's light shine. As you watch them manipulate and belittle others you get the feeling, not only do they not have sense enough to care what they are doing, but that they also just don't have any class at all... because you truly are a "fool" when you can't be happy for another person, especially one who has never done anything to you. When you work with, worship with, or live with someone who has fulfilled a goal, and you can't be happy for them without having an "attitude", you have a "problem". Now I'm not calling anybody out as a "HATER", because "haters" could care less about you, they may envy what you have or your style, but most would not have a whole lot to say to you about it... simply because they are 'hatin'. I'm talking 'bout these "smile in your face" folks, who then go behind your back and make it their business to make you look unimportant and insignificant. The one's who'll be the first to volunteer their services.

With the world today being the way it is, so full of despair, controversy, and imbalance, we owe it to any individual with determination to commend them for wanting to, and taking the neccessary steps to become a productive and contributing member of society. It's not about you, ... OKAY??? ... it's about the moral character, perseverance, and the self-discipline required to see a goal through to completion. Life throws so many lemons at us, that those capable of making "lemonade", and sharing that recipe for happiness and success ought to be held in at least some esteem.

I'm gonna assume that you were just having a bad day, because I'd like not to believe that you were "raised without any dignity". Truth is though, you and I both know that you did what you did, on purpose, Boo... it didn't go unnoticed, nor was it cute or funny, except to maybe another undignified and hateful soul. I can't believe that someone of your "qualifications" is that threatened by someone else's ambitions. You've been around long enough to know better. All you've done is expose your "truth", and all those "Degrees" don't amount to a "hill of beans", in the eyes of others, because what your spirit reflects is petty deceit, aggression, selfishness, and disrespect, not the accomplished, experienced, articulate, and educated individual those sheets of paper say you are. Whatever, in the end, you should question if all that time and effort was worth what you turned out to be.

The funny thing is that, ... that "other party" that you've tried at every opportunity to slight, and shoot down, has too much class to respond, ... I, on the other hand, haven't been able to acquire all those "Degrees", so I'm not educated enough to know that I shouldn't call you on your "maliciousness".

"mzstephens" ain't feeling that petty insecurity y'all ... Holla back ... 'cause "mysistahuseeit2" ... don't U?
