Real Madrid shared the spoils again for the third time in barely a week or so as they drew 2-2 to Borrusia Dortmund.This is the third team that wears a yellow kit they have played a stale mate with in a row.Talk about phobia for colors *lols*
Islam Slimani handed Leicester City their first ever home win in the Champions League as they defeated FC Porto one nil.Their European fairytale may have just commenced.
Elsewhere there were wins for Juventus,finally(deep sigh), Sporting Lisbon,a vital away win for Tottenham after fluffing their lines against AS Monaco in matchday 1 and Sevilla who would have Lyon to thank for their profligacy.
Back to Drugs and Messi...
Quick Question,and please be as sincere with me as you can,or better still lie to me,how many times have you labelled that guy or lady wearing a mohawk or dreadlocks,having piercings or a small tattoo or the Lil wayne-wiz khalifa kind in your street,class,church,on facebook,wherever,a 'bad' guy or girl, someone that is most likely a smoker and a junkie who is poised for the worst in life and even in the life after.
My guess is 8 times out of 10 times you have judged and looked down on that person and even wished him worse or maybe less,i am in no place to point fingers.
This is usually our default response as human beings,always putting ourselves in moral Everests.We by for a myriad reasons have an unconscious negative bias toward people who lives that do not align with our perspectives and views about life.
After losing his second consecutive Copa America,and third final for Argentina on the trot last season,a broken Messi left the pitch a ball of tears and probably questioning the gods of football why they always look down on him with no love whenever he dons any jersey that did not have FC Barcelona's logo on it.That also led to his unprecedented retirement from international football,we all know how that story went,No need to go into details.
During his summer break,Messi gave us the shock of our lives,a shock because that was the least we thought would come from the Messi camp.He posted a picture of himself with his hair all blonde!!!,like Justin Bieber blonde!!

Who would have thought?
Then in typical fashion,the swords all came out as they always do in our generation where the lives of celebrities are at the mercy of any and every Einstein online,his fingers and his key pad.
There was almost nothing that was not said about this recent development.One that caught my ears was while i was seeing a match in a football center,someone quipped and i paraphrase,'Messi has become bad and is no longer the saint we knew him as when he was younger,imagine the tatoos on his body and now he is wearing blonde hair.The guy even went further to add Neymar to the barb 'Neymar has influenced him with his reckless lifestyle.'

| A complete turnaround? |
On hearing this guy speak with so much disdain about Messi's recent installment of 'badness',i tried engaging him in a discuss to probably reason things with him as to why you do not necessarily have to place unthought out and unecessary conclusions on a person because of a few external nuances and quirks about the person,but this was a futile attempt and i eventually held my peace.
First of,it is pure wisdom to understand and fully accept the bitter truth that life does not and will never revolve around you.At the very least,there are at least over 7.something billion people in this world other than you and to think that any or everybody would see things or percieve life the way you do is a very impressive attempt at foolishness to say the least.No two people are the same.God is amazing and super ingenious like that!
It is therefore important to give room for contrasting views about various things you face and a need to listen more often and try to see things through people's eyes before placing judgement,allocating hate ,strife and unnecessary beef.This would save a lot of head ache and worry if you ask me.
What is poison to you may be meat to me.And this does not make your meat poison,it just means i do not just vibe with your meat,probably because of past experience,background,upbringing and maybe a personal preference.So do not hate me because i do not like Avocado pear for any reason.It is more personal than general.This in no way affects how nutritious Avocado pear is.So if you must,love Avocado pear.I have nothing on you.
This is how it is supposed to be.
To add to that,there is no direct relationship between the hairdo a person carries or whatever thing he does to his body and being bad or a nuisance to society.Being bad is a very relative term that is often times taken out of context and is sadwiched on both sides with biasness and personal paradigms which is more selfish to an individual than being beneficial to the general populace.
In my books,goodness is a virtue that comes from within and is in no way in tandem with how well dressed or put together a person may seem.It is a thing of the heart.If the heart is good,the actions will be.
And for crying out loud,Messi is an adult and he is responsible for the choices he makes,he is no toddler that is spanked because he wants to play with a light switch.So why is he babysitted like a child because of his choices.Insulting to say the least and utterly incredulous if i am to put it lightly.
Blonde is how Messi feels his hair should be at this point in timw and we all sou;d just have to deal with it.
I am different from you the same way you are from me and this should be respected above anything else.I am in no position to force myself literally on you.Life would be easier and less stressful if this is understood.
Show love,be love and let love reign.
