We must look at and accept the person who we like /love for who they are not for who they could be. However, helping someone to become better or realize their potential is what happens in a healthy relationship. That’s what I would want and also to be that for someone I cared for. We should be an asset to one another, not a liability. “When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them. “Dr Maya Angelou

Too many people want a person who has it all together without ever realizing that they may in fact be the key to that person getting it all together. Every ethnic group except African Americans seems to understand that.

Build together, grow together, acquire together. The idea you promote will run people right into a wall of judgment against each other. And I have seen thousands of people who are not where they should be nor where they could be.

Yes expectations have to be realistic. But they also need to be intangible. I have alot of respect for Michelle Obama because she put her vision on a shelf for a time. Most black people cannot do that for the other person and your article will not help them to see they should. Remember Michell mentored President Obama and made more than him initially.

We do not need more attitudes about self and materialism. And if you or the readers disagree with what I just said, know that I have helped thousands of people and families. What about you?
