For the sake of people that want Prince to be happy when he decides
to work out new releases...

One, Prince has several options with his career, and I say on his behalf, he should have anything new be a backordered policy. I would buy a new cd upfront knowing I may now recieve it for a year.

Two, the past is the past...nothing erases a mental image of anything we are a witness to, Prince has to know that unconditional lovers of his music are all he needs in the end.
And last,

No matter who we are or what we do in this life...The Art of Forgiveness is the highest mountain to climb.

I wouldn't worry about old images if I were Prince, just be happy when making new music.

From your mouth to Prince's ears. No matter what he does he can never run away from the way he used to be, what a shame I once swore that Prince had no regrets about his performances and believed him when he said so in an interview.

u know, Forgiveness is not an Art, it is a feeling, And one does not climb forgiveness. There is Karma! Forgiveness is there for something one is not guilty of. If ur guilty than u get ur punishment. KARMA And KARMA = one recives in return what one has given. Regina Carma (n) Rosicrucian

Forgiveness is something you do everyday, if you don't you are avoiding it.
whether it be something you've done, or someone has done 2 U. Have u tried to forgive the devil? I haven't mastered that art, but I work on it.

Do you think that Prince wants love? It seems that he pushes people and things away from himself, his friends, wives, fans. He use to be SO nice, approchable and more flexible, I can't remember when I last saw a picture of him smiling, I don't get it now, Sueing everybody! It's not like he really wants or needs the money. seems like it just meaness.

How can Prince want and give love, if he doesn't know what love is?
Seems like Prince has been an enigma from the very beginning. I truely believe he has serious issues with intimacy. Prince seems like the typical loner who pulls back, as soon as somebody comes too close. Has he ever had a person in his life for longer than a couple of years, and if so how connected was he really with that person?
To me he seems sometimes like the lonliest and insecure person on the planet, no matter how many people surround, love and support him.
His music is probably the only thing that keeps him sane and to some extend content. Also his intense interest in God and religion seems to indicate, that he is trying very hard to find his way and most of all, real love.

The True Art of Forgiveness is to realize there is never anything for which to forgive.

Tame. I don't know where you're planning on taking this, but please just don't.

I'm not quite sure I understand the point of this topic. I mean, I get what you are saying, but in regards to the topic...

What is Prince supposed to be forgiven FOR?

Is he starting to regret cutting the ass out of his pants on the MTV VMA's? (Personally I think that was genius!)

Please carify your point!

My Intended point was just wanting Prince to be happy when he decides to release new music. Not be filtering into a sountrack, we as fans are looking forward 2hearing, the worry, that, he will be taken advantage of financially due to the web....

The second reply, was the art of forgiving, that the release of the devil's hatred on the world, is still, a link in a human chain that is necessary to forgive...

And, to respond to the last comment, Prince can be innovative with legal concerns as a pioneer in the music industry, yet, at the same time, be forgiving of what has already been abused...Prince has a lot of breathe in him left, and that music ought to be delivered, one, in a new,internet conciousness, and two, with Peace in his heart....

I need, for a man that I love, to be happy while he is creating, for my supportive peace of mind....I feel sorry, that, so much responsibility, is put on a loving heart, that has just had to cross unexpected hurdles along the way...

As a poet, although I express, negative emotions, to release them, I have found that those writings are only beneficial to me...When I am at peace, what I write is beneficial to everyone that reads. And I believe that Prince, wants to leave his legacy to the world in a happy place within his heart...not tormented by those people, that will try to use him, for their financial gain, when he has done the artistry.

I love this forum.

What if Prince released an album of complete silence and told everyone it was "art"? Would you still love it unconditionally?

Of course I would love it unconditionally, on my way back to the record store.

I kind of like that he's taking on the personal responsibility to "clean up" whatever he doesn't want of himself on the internet... but, it seems like a big battle's in front of him.

I think he needs to forgive himself and peace will follow.
