An Open Letter to Kwame Brown from Flea

Quote:
those people who think that you are not better than you are playing now
are wrong
if you think it you are wrong
you are as great as you want to be
you could be one of the great power forwards to play in the nba
you can turn it around
you are young there is plenty of time
you only live this life once
and you cannot leave the greatness within you unexpressed
it would be a disservice to the universe
unless of course you know in your heart that you would rather be doing
something else and you are only in the nba for the cash
in which case you should go do that other thing
because you do only get to live this life once
and it is a crying shame when people leave their song unsung
but to the pedestrian fan like myself
it sure seems like you were born to tear it up on the hoop
court

i know that for myself
there have been many times in my life when i was so down
anxiety ridden and confused
that i was not nearly as great at being who i am
or feeling the joy and love and opportunity of each day
not even reaching in the right direction to get on the righteous path
not even capable of trying
because i was lost
barking up the wrong tree
hurting inside

it took me a while to get to it
but i found ways to get back to feeling great and doing my best
i developed a spiritual practice
i went to a therapist and worked on emotional issues
that had been messing with me all my life
sometimes i would feel so lousy
i didn't even know what was bothering me
i tried hard to figure it out
and i got help from god and from smart people
and i let go of years of stuff that was slowing me down
i'm far from perfect but i am a lot better and still working on it
i am a happy man

now i ask you please not to take offense at this kwame
i do not pass judgement
but it seems to me that something is troubling you
and keeping you from your own greatness
and you need to work it out

i see you not try sometimes
i see you not go for the rebound sometimes
i see you not get back on defense sometimes
i see you not help out on defense sometimes

and once in a while i see you block a shot get an awesome rebound and
explode to the hoop like a genius and put the ball in the hole with
great gusto

i know that you could be great all the time
do what it takes to make your mind clear and your heart free
therapy
meditation
whatever you can do to help yourself
so you can give your all
do it
start now

i know you want the respect that comes with being great at what you do

kwame brown could be a hero in this town
the x factor that brings the lakers a championship

dont leave your sung unsung

your friend,
flea

Re: An Open Letter to Kwame Brown from Flea

Why is this considered off topic?

There are a number of threads that get moved into here that are perfectly legitimate threads for the main forum. What is the reasoning?
