If 2Pac Were Alive Today Where Would He Be ? letter #9 To be honest, and even though it hurts to say, I don't think that Pac was meant to be alive today. Every time I think of 2pac, I think of his striking similarity to Jesus of the Bible. And how his life was almost paralleled to Jesus'. Jesus came and left many, many, many, questions unanswered for us and was, by far, the most influencial man in the history of the world. Pac was similar. He left so many of us wondering...wondering what the game would be like if he was still alive and well...wondering what his records would be like...wondering if he would still be on top...wondering if he would have progressed to politics like he said in his last interview with Vibe magazine. He died for a reason, the same reason that all the most influential people die, (ie: Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Martin Luther King JR., Malcolm X, Jesus...etc.), because God put him on this earth to make us reconsider who we are and what we are doing here. Although Pac's life was short, it made us think so much about who we are, what we represent, how we treat people, and how we live. I cannot even begin to explain why Pac was so influential, but I find myself striving to be active like he was. Striving to be active like Jesus was. Both men had burning hearts for what they believed. Both men were strongly opposed by those in power. Both made the most of their lives. So, as for the question, I think if Pac was still here, he would not have been nearly as influential as he is today. He would be a legend of course, but his mystique and mystery would have diminished. Once again, I hate to say it, but I think we were meant to experience the legacy Pac left after his death. I miss him, and his passion for his beliefs, but we are meant to take over that burning heart and do something about it. |
