BURNT IDENTITY
Listen to this Insight
<span class="html-content"> <p>Hi guys!!! I hope you had a lovely weekend taking care of yourself and making your father's happy? I know I did and if you don't know why I am asking this question, yesterday was Father's Day and from that look on your face, you need to make that call or text now. No thanks needed</p> <p>Now to our issue for the day,in case you missed it, Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy was involved in an altercation that left two people seriously injured and another traumatized.</p> <p>If you don't know what happened, you can read about it but the summary is: Burna's team shot at a couple and their friends because he tried approaching the wife and she rejected his advances.</p> <p>Yeah, a crass behavior you might say, but haven't we gotten comfortable with this idea that as a celebrity, you should get whatever you want, whenever you want and without repercussions?</p> <p>You just need to be rich enough to get away with anything on this earth and it has been a pointer to some of the reasons people want what we call in slang "bastard money"</p> <p>Then again, we are aware not every rich person acts this way, so it probably is a pointer to what already has existed and money became the amplifier.</p> <p>Yes, you know we always say when people get money, they change but the truth is, they never did, you just weren't paying close attention.</p> <p>Habits and behaviours don't happen overnight, they are built overtime by reaction to certain events or a personal decision.</p> <p>Entitlement which is seen in this particular scenario develops in many ways.</p> <p>When you have been constantly told as a child that anything you want in the world, you can have. </p> <p>Wow, no consequences? Just say the word and voila, I get it? </p> <p>Or when you are not corrected for certain juvenile behavior, you go through life thinking you can do anything and get away with it</p> <p>Interesting piece of advice</p> <p>Of course you can get anything you want but you are not free from the consequences.</p> <p>So at what point do we tell ourselves the truth and work to change these harmful ideals we keep encouraging?</p> <p>When do we stop thinking a public statement can just be all you need to get off with anything?</p> <p>My guess is "NEVER" because whether we accept it or not, we have become slaves to the paper and that love is not going away anytime soon.</p> <p>Lana Del Rey succinctly captured it in her track "National Anthem".</p> <p>But really, how badly has entitlement eaten into the crop of our society? </p> </span>
