A Law Student of Delta State University and a fan of Michael Jackson. I vehemently agree with your views pertaining to wealth using MJ as a case study. Sometimes I feel persons who acquire so much wealth are not ready to deal with the rigours that come with it. But it's not bad to be wealthy after all,it's we deal with it. And I think if MJ was ready for the kind of wealth he had, things would have been much better for him. R.I.P. M.j. Hey Ralitsa, I'm from Warri,Nigeria.

I will be reading some in my shows this weekend. Seems like most of us agree that wealth rarely makes people happy because it makes it harder to have real friends. Ralitsa Hi to all,

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my Blog and share your thoughtful comments. I will be reading some in my shows this weekend. Seems like most of us agree that wealth rarely makes people happy because it makes it harder to have real friends.

All that just seems to fake for me , but it doesn't matter anymore coz Michael...is gone, and I really hope that the "scandals" media and the proclaimed "good friends " would just leave him alone , maybe in his death he could achieve his peace that he never found in his life ..

Blame his family friends, Berry Gordy, church, and community leaders. Everybody was and cintinue to hedge for personal gain then cut the strings when things get out of whack for rhe man on the top. In the Black neighborhood, we call such bottom feeders, crabs.

If you fixate on your success, turn inward to please yourself and constantly seek adoration from others, you risk failure. Pride comes before a fall. However, if you use what the Lord has given you to serve HIM and others, and deny self, then success will follow. At the end of the day, making peace with God Almighty through JESUS CHRIST is the only true success in this life and life everlasting! I hope we all can embrace this truth! God bless you all!

I like the parallel you draw between Michael and your friend. Just a matter of how one approaches the situation of being iplaced in an entirely different league. As we say in Bulgaria - do not forget your roots or where you started from. Staying connected with old friends, who cannot afford one's lifestyle, keeps you well grounded. Jivka Dear Ralitsa,

Very subtle observation on the reverse side and effects of becoming rich. I like the parallel you draw between Michael and your friend. Just a matter of how one approaches the situation of being iplaced in an entirely different league. As we say in Bulgaria – do not forget your roots or where you started from. Staying connected with old friends, who cannot afford one's lifestyle, keeps you well grounded.
