Forgiving others is about you not them.

Dads should kiss and hug their sons, tell them they love them and pray with them before bed.

Others don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

You can learn something from everyone you interact with that can change the way you see things.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

When you help anyone anywhere, you help everyone everywhere.

Know who you are before you get married.

Marry the right person and stay together for the rest of your lives.

To be right with yourself is to be right with God and to be right with God is to be right with yourself. To be right with God you must hear from God. To hear from God you have to read God's word (the bible).

A church family and community who you can trust will change your life.

It's clear by this response that you're not a person I want to read further responses from in the future.

I'm guessing they would continue to do whatever caused them to lose the one eye in the first place to then the second eye would have to go.

Here's a popular opinion: Stop smoking crack homie. Like 5% of Americans make 200k or over and BMW has a huge lineup of cars for different budgets.

You might be surprised, but cars, especially performance cars, have historically accounted for delivering their respective drivers and passengers an unexpectedly quick ticket to one of those places...depending on the faith of the respective occupant of course.

1 st unpopular opinion - Social Media and / or platforms like youtube have given many individuals celebrity status even though this status / lifestyle is not fitting for everyone...

With that, we are seeing lower and lower levels of talent in everything popularized... from music, to movies to acting etc etc.

2nd unpopular opinion - a completely unchecked corporate capitalist system in this country has made a select few extremely wealthy at the expense of the masses and its only getting worse as the wealth gap growth further

These are more cold harsh truths rather than unpopular opinions. I'm in complete agreement.

I'm also of the opinion America has changed drastically since the 2008 recession times thanks primarily to social media and historically low interest rates. It's sort of led to a "fake" economy. It's created hyper-polarization, civil unrest, created millionaires out of people who'd otherwise be working at McDonalds, pumped fake liquidity into the economy leading to things like Crypto and, and worsened the wealth divide. The tech sector especially has reaped the benefits of all this cheap money.

yep 100%... but unfortunately the longer I work in the corporate world, the more I learn everything is fake lol... as long as it generates revenue even if its BS, it seems to be OK... this is a very slippery slope in a true economy... I am curious who will be the last one holding the bag in this mess... i could see in my lifetime some sort of economic revolution in this country... who knows what that will be.

On this topic, this is an excellent watch. Non-partisan, just a great critical analysis. For anybody interested.

Eh, I think people who care how other people find happiness should worry about themselves. I'm too busy being happy to worry about how anyone else tries to be happy (as long as it doesn't affect my happiness, which this obviously doesnt)

I don't make remotely close to $200k/yr and never will and that includes including my wife's income as well. With that said, I bought a new 2016 M235 with cash. Recently bought a 2011 Cayman fun car with cash. We bought my wife's new 2020 4Runner with cash. Our house was paid off years ago and both my kids have well funded 529s and I plan to retire in 4 years at 52.

I think maybe you're the one that should be smarter with your money if you think $200K ain't nothing.

Unpopular opinion: I have both liberal and conservative views and opinions, none of which are set in stone and can change.

I've aquired 2 M3s and 2 houses on a fair bit less than $200k/yr lol. In one of the more exp zip codes in Socal, no less.

Clearly the $200k/yr comment was a weird flex moment. One of those... tell me you make well over $200k/yr without telling me you make over $200k/yr.
