True

I am going to give an example of confusion.

I have a cousin, he is the same age as me, give or take a few months. He had the same start as me. We both lived in a nice area in the city. only difference was he lived the project and I in a private house. Now he knew what he needed to do. All he had to do was go to school. Move on to college and get a good job. Live life on the straight and narrow.

But he decided that is not what a man needs to do. A man makes money. He's a convicted Drug dealer/runner, gunrunner. The only way he got on the straight and narrow was when he was in Jail. They forced him to continue school and take a few college courses. He has tainted each one of his family immediate family members with his illegal actions.

The call to the street wise mentally was too strong.

He got paroled last April. You would think he learned anything. We all are taking bets on how long he will stay out. He has spent most of his adult and teenage life in Jail.
