Transforming School Dynamics: A Dive into Respect, Bullying, and Valuing Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Reflecting on the heartrending loss of a fallen soldier, we engage in a poignant discussion about the true essence of life - making every moment count. This episode welcomes you into the realms of an enlightening conversation with my wife and baby sister, as we navigate through the complex dynamic that is the modern school environment.
Ever wondered how vastly the school environment has transformed over the years? How the once respectful bond between teacher and student has been replaced by drama, mess and an underlying power struggle? We unravel it all, with my baby sister offering an insightful perspective on how school has become less about learning and more about navigating through complicated relationships. The conversation takes a deep dive into generational differences and the unequal expectations of respect, highlighting the need for understanding, empathy and equal power dynamics.
We tackle the grave issue of bullying head-on, discussing its lasting impact on a student's mental health and the role of teachers and parents in preventing it. This episode also offers a unique perspective on school uniforms, exploring how it contributes to bullying and the pressure on students. Concluding in a somber note, we reminisce about a brave soldier who lived life to the fullest, reminding us all to value our relationships, no matter the circumstances. So, tune in as we dissect the changing attitudes and power dynamics in a school environment, and discuss the importance of kindness, respect, and anti-bullying in today's world.

Mindset is more important than motivation.
Teenager's Perspective on School and Attitude
Speaker 1What's going on? Beautiful people, welcome back to another episode of oh what thing understanding podcast, and today is a special episode. I'm joined by my baby sister and my lovely wife and we have a great episode coming for you. I call the stink part, but I let it introduce itself.
Speaker 2Hey, I'm the warrior, but people call me Momo. Why call you stink part then? Because that's been my name, just how it was a baby. I don't know the backstory behind it actually.
Speaker 1I really don't need it you just missed the impact.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know the backstory behind it.
Speaker 1Yeah, I really appreciate you coming onto my show.
Speaker 2You're welcome.
Speaker 1You think it will be a good episode? Yeah, it just depends what you mean.
Speaker 2I'm a question.

Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Baby got anything to say? I'm just asking.
Speaker 3My name is Shad and it's going to be a good episode, yeah.
Speaker 1Alright, so let's get into it. Just a regular, casual, friendly conversation. If you feel uncomfortable or need a break, you just gotta let us know. Alright, you think you're ready? Yeah, I'm trying to put you in a high seat. You think you're trying to put you in a high?
Speaker 2seat. No, you're not.
Speaker 1No, I ain't no high seat, ain't no high seat at all. What so? I mean like you're a teenager, so all you know is what? Middle school, elementary High school too. High school too, yeah, so like which one would you prefer?
Speaker 2High school.
Speaker 1High school.
Speaker 2You can't even make it to high school. Most of my friend group is in high school.
Speaker 1Why? Because I'm an experienced high school, but you still prefer high school. Yeah, what makes you prefer high school?
Speaker 2Because in high school you got more freedom, more activities and stuff. Like you learn more and more as you go, also, like also stuff, I agree.
Speaker 1I agree with the freedom, but so do you think that middle school, elementary, prepure you for the freedom that you have in high school?
Speaker 2I say middle school is really just, it's really just not costly. What do you mean? Because like it's really just really you work in, but like it's really just not a sense you think about it.
Speaker 1You can elaborate like Go into further detail about what you're talking about.
Speaker 2Okay, so Really it's really School these days. It's really just about Relationship fights, drama, mess. Just it's not about school anymore. If you think about it, school is really just about meeting people, finding mess, mess, mess, mess, mess On top of mess, like basically it's really not about school, no more. I'm already into nothing If you think about it. Most people dropping out and stuff Really people just really doing their own thing. School is really not school, no more. It really don't even do nothing for nobody. That's what I feel.
Speaker 1So do you feel like there's just A certain group of people, or are you saying that's just school, that's really like almost everybody.
Speaker 2I say even the smarter kids Don't even be paying attention, for no more.
Speaker 1They're just good at school yeah they're just good at school.
Speaker 2I know a lot of good kids who want to aid On a roll. It ain't really just don't care about school. They'll do their work, but it's really nothing to give Care about.
Speaker 1So, with school, being in school, do you feel like it's just like a means to an end, or it's just something that kids have to do, because you have to do?
Speaker 2I feel like you would just have to do it. Like I promise you, if we did not have school, I swear to God, it would be no complication About not having school, because people really won't care. It would be complication from the parents Because they want to get us gone For like 8 hours or the day. But the kids I promise you it's gonna be nothing Because, like most kids, they be getting bullied, they be having to fight. It just be a lot of drama. Get put on your name Rumors Like it's really just a lot. It's really not about school anymore. It's not about school anymore. And the teachers just I don't want, they just won't, they won't respect. But don't give respect and think you're just okay with that. No, but me, I know I'm not. I'm gonna give attitude back. You give me a one, I'm gonna give you one. That's just me.
Speaker 1You feel like there's a generational thing.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's anybody, that's anybody.
Speaker 1But I'm saying like so attitude, do you feel like it's a generational thing?
Speaker 2Do you feel like your mama, mama, I give my attitude for women.
Speaker 1I got this saying so you don't think it's so. Do you feel like it's all people, that's the did it. Or do you feel like it's some people Like you think your green and gay attitude the teachers are like? That's becoming like a new norm now Like the younger blue kids. You feel like she's getting attitude. I know you know what she did.
Speaker 2Yeah, and my mama was really just quiet. But when you crossed that line, she crossed the line too.
Speaker 1So how do you feel about that? Like, do you feel like teachers should give, teachers should give attitude?
Speaker 2No, Because at all times, teachers, they think they can give you attitude and you're not gonna give it back. Like me, I'm gonna give it back Because you give me a reason To give you an attitude Like I feel, like no, don't mind us y'all, we're a little sick over here.
Speaker 1We ain't sick. I think it's all of us. Well, it's just Like you were it's four out of seven people. That's how it's been. Yeah, all of us, a whole lot, are going on.
Speaker 2So do you feel like it's?
Speaker 1because the teachers are getting younger? Or is it just Like?
Speaker 2All the teachers. The older teachers are worse. They're like. They like demand respect. Older teachers think Because they older and they elder. They think that demand Respecting you Just gotta move on Because they.
Speaker 3They lose to the old time.
Generational Differences and Lack of Respect
Speaker 2Where there was no time Back and no nothing. But these days I know me Because I'm looking too like who's talking to me. That's just me, though, because you're not even talking to me, like I'm crazy, like no, I know I'm gonna say so, babe. That's why I'm really like they call. I'm like saying I ain't do it, but like Some of the stuff I don't be doing, some of the teachers do Just me Telling stories, don't show stuff.
Speaker 1It's sometimes you do it.
Speaker 2It's sometimes I say I tell them what I do, do it Because I know like. I mean no, no, but like at the same time they need to give the respect that they want.
Speaker 1And so definitely like Respect goes both ways. Yes, it's definitely. And I can agree with that. I feel like, like usually when somebody in authority and you being disrespectful, especially like you go lose, you know you're gonna lose because they know they got the power. Yeah, because they're in authority. But I definitely have learned that respect goes both ways and it's a different generation where it feels like that. I'm older or I'm the parent or I'm the teacher, so I get to disrespect you.
Speaker 3It's like no, it's not true. Yeah, I was supposed to go. Yeah, how do you feel about it? So I think maybe in this generation I'm not a teacher, but maybe this generation of teachers have to kind of evolve with the generation of kids a generation of kids that is here now because a lot of things, especially even 10 years ago, are different from what it is now, because of course, we had phones, of course, stuff like that, but it's different outside influences that go into being a kid at this age in 2023. And then maybe the kids have to kind of I mean not the kids the teachers have to kind of like go with the times or be flexible with the times to engage with the kids they're teaching. So it's kind of a different situation. But of course, I'm not a kid In this generation. In this generation, so I wouldn't know the hardships, I just know the outside hardships and what I can assume.
Speaker 1I can see that. Do you feel that kids in this generation this for you stink like? Do you feel the kids in this generation are maybe not kids? Like I think y'all had to grow up a whole lot Not saying that back in the day I felt like it was like a break. So like back in the day you hear like parents or like grandparents talk about like having to get jobs and having to raise kids, and then it felt like it was kind of like a break where kids had the ability to be kids and just from my perspective I feel like it's switching back over to like but maybe y'all don't get to be kids again.
Speaker 1Like you said, it's a generation of kids not being able to be kids to some extent, to some extent, because it's like on one side I can see we're like oh man, your parents took care of you and that's why you act like this, Like you don't think it's a real world out there, and then like people come, you get kids that come into the service, or you get kids that are in elementary school and they just don't get it. But I also see the other side, where it's just like you know, it's coming back to that History repeating itself, where kids are not able to actually be kids. So it's like how can you be like 13 but deal with stuff that a grown person is supposed to deal with and you want me to still be like okay with dealing with it? Like, do you feel like that plays any part into it?
Speaker 2Yeah, because most kids really been stuck at home watching their siblings and stuff, Like they mama's just go out and just put the kids on them and stuff. I know a couple people who just like it Do you feel like that's an environmental thing, because it could.
Speaker 1it's gonna be kids that's listening to this all over the world that has never had to deal with raising somebody else.
Speaker 2Kids are raising their siblings Like they don't know what they can also depend on your parents not paying the teacher to you.
Speaker 1What you mean.
Speaker 2Like, okay, so safe. For instance, your parent is just always doing something, like always, constantly working, constantly just sleeping or just not paying attention to you. Yeah, they don't pay attention, but like they not paying attention on some stuff yeah, like that also deal with the behavior of us kids, because it's like you won't do the teaching of your parent. But you're not getting it but you're getting it, but you're not getting it Like the way that you want it.
Speaker 1Yeah, it might just be like bad things, or when you do get attention and stuff.
Speaker 2Yeah, the only time you get attention is when something bad happens or when it's just something a holiday or your birthday or something. That's the only time you get attention.
Speaker 1I could agree, I could definitely say I felt like that at times and as I got older you kind of like learn to grow out of it, like you grow out of it, just like you, just going by.
Speaker 2You don't want the attention, no more.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's like you grow out of it. It's like you don't grow out of wanting the attention. You grow up wanting to get attention from that person.
Speaker 2Yeah, so you just getting from somebody else.
Speaker 1Yeah, I agree. I agree with that totally. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2I feel a little bit.
Navigating School and Dealing With Bullying
Speaker 1Yeah, wait, yeah, is that a good All right, so how? What is some tips that you would give for navigating through school, dealing with situations like that? Like how, like regardless until you reach a certain age, like we all have to go to school and we're forced, and the way that it is in America, because in some countries, like kids start out, let's say, like when you start school, you want to tell somebody you want to be an architect or architecture tech or something for this, right, but then that's what you want to do, like build buildings, design buildings or whatever, and structures and they why you're going through school, like that's what they focus on. Like they they drive you in classes and stuff like that in order for you to do that. But in America it's just kind of like, basically general studies, like you would go teach your mouth, you go teach your reading, we go teach you the stuff that's the stuff that we learn in school now does not have nothing to do with the outside world.
Speaker 2English have nothing to do with the outside world. I said the only thing that has something to do with it is social studies. That's about the only thing. Social studies is really science. You're not going to really think about it If you want to. The only time you think about science if you want to be a scientist social studies, that's about the only thing that has to do with something outside of this world Math and reading in English, writing, whatever. That has nothing to do with the outside world. Why are you feeling like that? So what if you have to read?
Speaker 1like super read a menu, doing a job interview, what? But you're going to learn it in, like reading. You're going to learn it like writing, the way that you articulate yourself to a resume, or being able to speak to somebody.
Speaker 2You can learn that just by watching something. What do you?
Speaker 1mean Like a seminar or like somebody teaching you.
Speaker 2You can just watch somebody read a book, and you can just learn. You can watch somebody's writing, and you can just learn. But school, they going all out for no reason. That's what I feel like.
Speaker 1So school is just a setup in your eyes.
Speaker 2Yes, Because, like, still, when people do go to college and stuff and they still get out of college and stuff, what they be doing Nothing. Yeah, some people do nothing, nothing and that's because they can't. They are a tribe, but they still do nothing. So school is a waste of time. It's just somewhere to go where your parents want to go.
Speaker 1Oh, your parents know what you're doing. Yeah, but what about the people? So you don't have no friends that enjoy school? No, not at all.
Speaker 2No, school really brings impression. And think about it Because, like it's really just depressing, I hate going to school.
Speaker 1So okay, so you don't like going to school? No, what would you want to do if you weren't going to school Like a teenager, if people were saying, like you need to go to school, like you say, your parents need a break. What would you do to be productive and be successful?
Speaker 2I would do my hair business.
Speaker 1Hair business.
Speaker 2Well, I vlog for, like, I vlog throughout the day and stuff like that. Like, if I'm not vlogging, I do hair.
Speaker 1Maybe vlog you doing hair.
Speaker 2Yeah, I could do that too, so do you. But I also got to make like daily vlogs of my life, like morning routine night routine, then just vlogs throughout my day like a girl with me, get ready with me.
Speaker 1So do you feel like school starts there, or you can still do that in spite of school, like you can still go?
Speaker 2out School is really not worth it. It's not worth it, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3Why you say that.
Speaker 2Because, like, it's really just mess.
Speaker 1Do you feel like you can just focus on the mess If?
Speaker 2you can try to block the mess out, it will still come your way. I know a lot of people who get bullied just for doing their work.
Speaker 1They get bullied for doing their work. Yes, so you said it. Okay, I understand that. You said like they're not even looking for trouble, they don't bother anybody.
Speaker 2Trouble comes to mind, they just pick it up. Trouble fires them, and that's how when you get bullied. How many cases there is from bullying and people kill themselves over that.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2In school. Every time somebody did that, it don't matter, from school, school, school, school school.
Speaker 1So what better school? You said, getting bullied at school makes them take their own life.
Speaker 2Yes, I know a couple of people who get bullied. I know a lot of people who get bullied.
Speaker 1So okay, so talk about that. How do you feel about that? About bullying yes, I do feel about bullying. I do feel like teachers should do more to help students that get bullied, or the people who get bullied.
Speaker 2They can't do nothing about it, because sometimes even teachers laugh with them, the kids.
Speaker 3So what I know a?
Speaker 2couple of teachers who would just laugh with the students and who would talk with the teachers about the students. It's multiple teachers who would go in the lounge and laugh and gag about students, and you did. I know a couple of students. They'll tell you stupid, you'll see a face.
Speaker 1And that goes back to my earlier question Do you feel like it's just a younger generation Teachers now?
Speaker 2probably got six, seven years. You can't just say it's one generation, it's everybody, all generations, all generations put together. Some people just shouldn't be teachers, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1So how would you deal with bullying? Because my thought process on it is if your kid get called bullying, so you know, like baseball three strikes you up, if your child get called bullying, they shouldn't be allowed to go back to no school, like that's permanent homestead.
Speaker 2And then like sometimes you get true and see and stuff. No, but that's what I'm saying. I'm saying like, you know how they create the laws.
Speaker 1What laws? I'm saying like it should be a law created. If your child is a habitual, that means they do it a lot. You habitually bully somebody. You get three times to bully somebody where it's like it's seen that this person has bullied. It's nothing that has called, it's not like it's a fist fight or altercation, it's just, hey, your child is picking on this child, so no reason. They should not be allowed to go to school. Not just that school, no school. And now you need to deal with that child and I feel like it'll help some of the issues of parents saying like, oh well, that's just kids growing up, or that's just kids being kids, or they just they'll grow out of it. No, now you have to deal with figuring out how you go get an education for your child.
Speaker 2Okay, look, I'm gonna say this, what you doing? The only way I say this is like, just make it whole like online school, like they did when the cars were on the computers. Yeah, online school kids don't have to deal with the bullying in it, but some kids do try to go to school to get away from their parents. I agree, I feel like just online school.
Speaker 1I feel like that would be so much more better. But you know what the issue with online school was? The issue with online school was that a lot of kids learning level dropped. So let's say, like you, a fifth grader getting ready to go to sixth grade online school. Just like you say you, some people go to school to get away from their family or just to get away from their environment or they just can't focus at home. So when you're trying to teach a child why they're at home, they're not necessarily learning. So now when they go back to school, this fifth grader that's supposed to be a sixth grader is still on the fifth grade level. And now there is sixth grader going to seventh grade because online school they wasn't able to grasp the knowledge like they were at school.
Speaker 1So I agree, like bullies, it's kind of like one of those things where, just like how they do people that's committed a crime. Like you could be a one-time loser. You could be a three-time loser. You could be a one-time loser. You can make a mistake growing up that gets you put in jail for the rest of your life, or 10 to 8, 15 years out of your life, and then it's like I did one thing. It should be the same way with bullies Like. I understand that with bullies Like you mess up two, three times. Whatever you homeschool, like, wherever your education go or how it go, at least the kids will be able to, the kids that need to be able to learn, they're able to learn. Yeah, you did that. Yeah, so what? How do you feel about uniforms in school?
Importance of Kindness and Anti-Bullying
Speaker 2I just like because uniform is going to just higher than regular clothes. Uniform will be like the kids. By itself will be like $20, $30. I agree. So I feel like uniform is just a waste of time. If you could just wear regular clothes, you think it's easier to get regular clothes.
Speaker 1Yes, because regular clothes are like $2.99, $2.99, $5. Why do you feel like they do uniforms?
Speaker 2So that I feel like they do uniforms so that the kids who do is, like you know, won't get bullied for that, but it's still get bullied for wearing uniform.
Speaker 1What you mean.
Speaker 2Because, like, go ahead, because they'll still wear the same stuff, like the uniform. You have one uniform or two uniforms for you to tell that they still wear the same stuff.
Speaker 1So they go get bullied because they weren't the same thing.
Speaker 2Yes, the same thing is where you go. So that's why I think regular clothes, because you're going to have more regular clothes than uniform.
Speaker 1You're able to have access to more regular clothes yes, yes, so, but this thing goes back to if your parents are not able to afford the regular clothes. That's why I think the bully should be removed. No, let's break their clothes. No, I'm saying like Steeke. Like Steeke saying like a uniform shirt, uniform pants cost $10.20.
Speaker 1No I mean, I said $20 to $30. And so, like, a regular shirt would be like $10. But if your parents only get you six shirts and you got to make those six shirts stretch for an entire semester, that's six to seven months that you wear the same shirt, same pants, same shoes, because your parents or grandparents or whatever foster care revenue they're not able to to afford your changing clothes like that. Yeah, so once again the bully it comes back into effect.
Speaker 3I think bullying comes in all different shapes and sizes.
Speaker 1And do I definitely think that you can't kind of win for losing.
Speaker 3You kind of can't win for losing because bullying is going to kind of be there in any aspect of life. Like, even if you were uniform I've been to schools where it was uniform. I've been to school when it's regular clothes and bullying is still happening either either side, you know. Yes, that don't think it's really like for me. I don't think it's really a difference from if you were a uniformer.
Speaker 2A regular clothes?
Speaker 3Yeah, because, of course yes, you have a lot more different options when you have regular clothes. You're still going to bully you. Yeah, everybody's under the same requirements as far as like uniform clothes. Yes, where those uniform clothes? Yes, so even if you wear them uniform clothes, you still can get bullied, because you know what the bully want to what you want to yeah, so you mean I'm going to all be transferred from a regular clothes to uniform clothes and still probably bully you because you know.
Speaker 1Yeah, I can agree. That's why I say that bullies should be removed, and I can definitely say, like being an adult, that bullying does not stop because you leave school.
Speaker 3I've been bullied even recently like last year. Last year, technically, I guess you can call it bullying. I didn't take this bullying, but you can look at it as if it was bullying you say like a job thing. Yeah, like I'm like in my last job as a supervisor they older women tried to like bully me because I was a younger supervisor. Younger supervisor They've been there at the shop like 10, 20 plus years and of course I got the job Because I had the experience and not just because of the age.
Speaker 3Yeah, because the age, but of course I had to be younger Asian and they were still in the same place. They've been in like 10, 20 plus years. You know they tried to bully was. You know, of course, like it don't work, do we do it on where do we thought they was? But you know we're still coming to different places in different X, s, s, sx through life. Well, you know, I'm saying, unfortunately, it said that it Definitely starts out when you're a kid but, yes, it literally goes, it goes I was like
Speaker 1but bullying is like he says, so you can look at it different ways. But I think that in this episode kind of went into bullying more than just anything else. But I could say that I have been accused of bullying and I can say that I can't say that I have bullied bullies. This is, I can definitely say that it happens. Yeah, you, you grow up and you see that, okay, like that's gonna be bullying or picking on somebody, or you never know what somebody Don't even think about. Yeah, you don't even think about it.
Speaker 1People don't exactly all I can say. The people that bully, the bullies. Or you think that, oh, these people don't do this or they're not Acting a certain way, so they like, oh, you bully and they'll, but it's like, no, like that me. You know, people that bully by just being mean, like, oh, your outfit is so nice, and then they go laugh about it with that. Yeah, I guess bullying and some people don't look at it like that. They think you have to be giving people wedges or pushing them down.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 1It's a different for use exactly just like it's, a beauty can be physical, mental or whatever like you could be, like oh man, they're gonna come in and take my lunch money, or you're okay?
Speaker 3I mean, I'd be like that. You like a nice one, yeah, no exactly.
Speaker 1But I'm saying, or it can be like like steep. I said like somebody's gonna make fun of me because of my outfit and you don't know what a person yeah, last straw is. That's why my biggest thing, like be kind of people. Like it's like be genuine to yourself, be genuine to the person that you are, but be kind of people because we live in the world like people, not caught. They're nice. It could be a nice thing to be like all your outfit is nice. Oh, you're here is so pretty. And then they make, oh, what did you get it done?
Speaker 1That is it's not actually genuine? You've been, exactly, you've been, you've been me, and so wrapping up this, this episode, cuz you look, you look a little sleepy, what, what advice? What advice would you give to people that are bullying? So if you could look a bully interface and try to stop a bully from bullying, what, what advice would you would you give them To try to stop?
Speaker 2I would say, like, think of the other person before what you're gonna say, because like that could talk to them and make them think. Like, just if you feel like you want to bully somebody, go to therapy. Like, just go to therapy, just say what you want to say to your therapist, and this is called you know, or write it in a notebook, you know, just don't tell people, because it's hard, what to do it to you, how to Feel.
Speaker 1That's basically what I say and what advice would you give to somebody who maybe, on a last straw or trying to hurt themselves, take their life? What would you give to somebody?
Speaker 2Why they got a bar this time also, where we're going to a therapy, to yeah, yeah, I'm dirty. There's really just I like that. I. I'm gonna have a kid with therapy.
Speaker 1All right, so you feel like therapy both ways? Yeah, what about the people that do not have access to therapy?
Speaker 2Do it has to be you don't even have to pay close up therapy. Yeah, you know free.
Speaker 1Okay, so we can look the people and your words are gonna make them have a better day, or your words are gonna play today's speaker and you try to promote didn't have a better day. What would you say? What would you say, oh, it could be anything. Anything that you could. You could tell you Live on the bird aside, I like that baby. You got anything to tell?
Speaker 3Keep it pushing and One thing that you can do is not take yourself from this life that you can bring yourself into and that you don't deserve to take yourself out on Because it's in the day. Um, yeah, just Just look at best life. As much as you could like what she said, live on the better side of life. They look at the better side, you know. Just Yep, yep, things are. A lot of things are temporary, of course. Therapy, therapy, therapy, yeah, therapy. If I talk to a friend, yeah, there'd be with a friend there, with a friend, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1I would. I would definitely. One thing that I learned, one thing that I just learned and I didn't realize that Many other people may do it, people may not think of doing is that if you don't have anybody to talk to, record yourself, have an appointment. I thought that that was so cool and I recently Listen to some persons recorders and I thought you could swear they having a Conversation with somebody in you know. It was just like I didn't have anybody to talk to. So there's like sometimes you can, the best person you can talk to is yourself and I thought that was pretty dope and I agree like it sounds cliche is if you take yourself out of life.
Speaker 1There's the Bible study I'm going through right now, the Cleoastics. You know so ton of that time and live in a stillborn Baby. It's a version there. It's like a stillborn baby has a better life Than someone who has a million dollars and not able to enjoy it. So it's all about enjoy the little piece of life that you have, enjoy what you can have.
Speaker 1And on the flip side, in the same passage and Story of the Bible or Cleoastics, they said a damn person, once you die, you die like nothing else. That Own life, what you experience, and that's just about what. Everybody has a different Religional belief and spiritual outlooks on life, and that is fine. This is what I believe in, what I read and what I'm gonna take on the moment you die. You die and you know you reborn and everything else happens after the fact. But it's just a long story. Short is just lead life. Lead life and enjoy your life, and your life is on your terms, even when you feel like it's not.
Tragic Loss, Reminder to Live Life
Speaker 1And I would just like to say, like today is veteran day, a veteran's day, to shout out to all the veterans and I also Like to give a moment of silence. So on my last episode I spoke out about a soldier that passed and they actually I actually have her bracing over right now and I say three, three or four days ago it was another issue that passed Sergeant first class Williams, it was that sort of ways at the time. But, like I explained on the last episode, once you pass in the military, you get promoted to the next rank. And Not only did he pass, it's something that he could not control. He he died in the car crash where another soldier was going a hundred miles an hour and it ran into him and that man left behind a one-year-old Think it was a one-year-old four-year-old and like a six-year-old and eight-year-old, like literally children. He left four children, four kids that will never see that dad again.
Speaker 1He left behind a wife that I never See her husband again, and I was just like to give a moment of silence for him and just just like I was saying, like living life, life can be short.
Speaker 1I'm blessed enough to be in an environment and in a career or lifestyle when you get to, you get to be reminded to live your life every day, because it's a lot of things that Be the soldier and being caught up in the military where you have literally literally no controller, and one thing that I feel, like a lot of soldiers we do well when we do do it, if we are close with the family that we create, whatever wife or husband or or friend organization that we went, we get close with their organization because we cling to the only family that we know. But I hope y'all enjoyed that episode. Shout out to stink pot being my co-host for this episode. Shout out to my wife for joining in. They're a little bit tired, they can't hang, they can't hang, but, as always, until next time, be genuine to yourself and kind of people. This is over taking. Understand the podcast.
