I saw the video of the Magic Johnson Isiah Thomas’ reconciliation.
First…I really didn’t know they had beef, but when I saw the emotions it validated that whatever happened was real.
Second…I was happy to see these two iconic black men, moguls even, humble enough to apologize. I have nothing but respect for them.
Just think, these two friends, for whatever reason, stop being friends for all those years. Sometimes we get in our feelings about things that really don’t matter, sometimes.
Maybe it mattered at the time and you can be mad but to hold a grudge for years…it’s really not worth that amount of time. The misunderstanding, communication, joke that went bad…in the grand scheme of things, whatever you’re mad about, it’s not that important to hold on to the anger, let it go.
So…when you’re with your family this holiday season, remember the things that are important, forget the things that are not. I just thought it was important to share.
Lastly…they both joked at the end of the hug, the apology lasted about 3 minutes and it was over that fast. Think of the decades of missed memories between friends, resolved in 3 minutes.
Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas
