I see her actions. Actions are very powerful.

but you would have to know her and know more of her in her real life.
You don't have anything about her to judge her character much less her heart

What is in her heart is a part of her character. I also do not have to respect someone who appears to have no respect for herself, Prince or even his family. Stuff like that cross should go back to his family.

People can and will be judged for their actions. This is never going to change so you need to just accept it.

Yeah she is just in relax mode.
My 50yr old cousin's birthday was yesterday. She put up on on FB page the she is in queen mode.

My mother wasn't feeling the best this past Mothers Day, and my brother and I had something put together, so she called me and said "Yes I'm coming so I can be treated like a queen" I told her uh there are no queens or princess, Mother is high enough to be treated special for a day lady.

All I'm saying is that I wish P had someone who's FB page was all about others; not themselves.

I don't understand

Are you saying by putting queen in captions she is connecting to Prince?

.

Our FB is about us to connect with others.
Her life is not about Prince.

She probably has family on her page, friends she knew before Prince.
She's young... God willing she lives to be 100 her page cannot be defined by Prince

.

In light of the conversation, have you come to a conclusion about her based on this?

It looks like Andy is just in Vacation mode, has nothing to do with getting a big head






LOL, Yes, I already saw the picture, it's the caption I am talking about:

"They built a throne for me and now I must stay. 👑 #queenallo"

Fishing.

I'm sorry, but this is petty. What is Andy "fishing" for? I believe that Andy intrinsically knows her value and hardly needs her fan base to quantify it for her.

Have you never done or said something in a joking manner? I doubt that Andy thinks this is really a throne and she is a queen (with royal lineage). Furthermore, who cares if she calls herself a queen and claims she is sitting on a throne? How does this affect anyone's life at all?!

Is Beyonce an actual queen?

Speaking of passing judgement on others.....I would guess that Prince hesitated to get treatment for his addiction to opioids because he understood that the public would pass judgement on him (to include his character, stance on "drug" use, etc.). Just let that sink in for a minute.

Yes. I've come to the conclusion that I would love to see her grow in a direction that helps people. I say this to be encouraging.

She looks really healthy and beautiful...better than when she was with prince...I think she ment nothing with the queen comment...how can you look like that and not think you got it going on

Oh, I didn't know that.

Words have power.....some can brush off negative comments, judgement, etc., easily. Others, who might have been verbally bullied, mentally abused by a parent or other authority figure, or even a spouse, in the past, cannot. They will take those words in and give them weight.

See, everyone plays their roles in this life.
Everyone around us helps us grow, whether comfortable or not.
Prince knew this. He was very advanced in this.
Sometimes growth is not comfortable. At ALL!
In fact sometimes the best growth comes from discomfort.

Yes, your example of seeing me walking down the street butt naked is in your actual life. I and AnAngellooks down talked about discernment and judging what is in your 'natural' life


.


You are not judging Susannah's character, you are judging her heart based on an action.


The fact that you call her Suzie Q is a blatant example of disrespect.









Hmmmmm I don't know Donald Trump or him in real life, but I have been judging.
I think people really do go by actions. Some people obviously can tolerate a man like him. SNIP - OF4$

I feel that he would have know that a little judgement was in order,
Because he fell into a trap that he once considered intolerable. Unless
Of course if he came forward and said hey I was intolerant in the past, but
Now I see it can happen to anyone, then I think the judgement wouldn't
Have been as severe.

Let it be.



I agree that often it's when we hurt that's when we are
Doing "the work" of growth. I wish P would have had the opportunity( or was quiet long enough)
To have the words of "hard love" brought to his ears.

I recall Prince on the View with Van Jones and Rosaria Dawson...

He was asked

"What do you think of Lady Gaga"

he replied

"I dont know, Id have to meet her !"

Which actions since Prince's death feel the most like a balance of both making some money/getting attention and a pride about their time with Prince/appreciation for the man and his music??

[Edited 9/27/17 4:57am]

I feel that everyone Loves him in some capacity.

He was just extralovable, but he was also sharp as a tack !

None of this would be happening if Prince was here becasue he was Fierce when it came to his business Dealings.

Whats going on now is a push and pull between people of various different mindsets

who all think they KNOW what Prince wanted...

through the filter of

"How much can I MAKE out of him"

As far as Paisley Park is concerned, I did some figures a while back on this thread,

and from even a very conservative estimation Paisley Park earns around 60 Million a year.

We know Prince left instructions for it, but who would have thought ?How many people were so against opening up the park until they came to know that Prince had orchestrated it ?

As far as his Music distrbution is concerned, Im not happy with the way things are going.

He had a very different Plan, as is evidenced by the way he set up NPG Music Publishing and Im quite clear that he meant for his fans to be the benefactors of his estate by setting up

little micro business offshoots, using the peer2peer concept. There is enormous scope to license everything he ever created, and allow people who are passionate into the market with their own creative expression and both the Individual and the Estate can benefit.The Love SYmbol alone can create enormous revenue streams but not if it remains locked up as it is within a somewhat Coprporate Structure.

License that too...

Prince wanted to help people...and Who did he love the most ?

Us..his fams

Prince left behind as I see it, a skeleton business structure that is in and of itself its own Social Economy. Its just that I seem to be the only person in the world who can see that.

Or maybe Nm not and thats why they are trying to dissassemble what he had already in place ?

It seems that rather than letting Princes music free, the Estate Drama looks like

its attempting to lynch him and

keep him confined....A very OLD Model...and not at all where he was headed.

In regards to his friends ex wives and lovers associates and fellow musicians...I cant begrudge them wanting to talk about him.Everyone LOVED Him in their own way

As far as the Ca$hing in..some are doing it, some are not..the ones who are

must surely be in a struggling financial position...again..I cant begrudge them..

I know what its like to struggle to support yourself and when things get desperate

you do anything that will make the ca$h flow in your direction..

I dont necessarily agree with the way some people go about things..

SOmetimes I cringe..but most of the time I know

that I dont KNOW what it is to be them...

THE worst thing that has happened so far in My opinion ?

New Power Soul..

THat there is a Callous exploitation of who he is, in the Guise of preserving his legacy

peppered with a good dose of total disrespect.

This is a hard questions to anwser but I thought is was interesting how a lot people who bad mouthed and held a grudge againist Prince now was signing his praise to the same fanbase/media they got twisted aganist him but now they rely on that same fanbase that they bad mouth Prince to. I also thought it was interesting how people who he did not talk to in years or often wanted to find ways to insert themsleves in his recent life events and feelings. Death does change things, that's why you see these quick turn arounds and I also believe that a lot people did think he would get so much love when he passed.
