If you recognize God’s hand in providing what you once lacked,you’re expressing thankfulness.But when you praise Him for what you always had;realizing t’was His grace all along,He owes you nothing. That’s an attitude of gratitude >> to a true contentment mindset.

Afeni Shakur was a political activist, Black Panther, philanthropist, businesswoman and Mother to the Late Tupac Shakur.
In April 1969, she and 20 other Black Panthers were arrested and charged with 150 charges of "Conspiracy against the United States government and New York landmarks".
Shakur chose to represent herself in court, pregnant while on trial and facing a 300-year prison sentence and had not attended law school. Shakur interviewed witnesses and argued in court.
One of the people Shakur cross-examined was Ralph White, one of the three suspects that actually was an undercover agent.
White was someone whom she had suspected all along of being a cop, since he had been inciting others to violence. She got White to admit under oath that he and the other two agents had organized most of the unlawful activities. She also got White to admit to the court that the activism that they had done together was "powerful, inspiring, and ... beautiful".
Shakur asked Mr. White if he had misrepresented the Panthers to his police bosses. He said "Yes". She asked if he had betrayed the community. He said "Yes."
VERDICT:
She and the others in the "Panther 21" were acquitted in May 1971 after an 8-month trial.
Altogether, Afeni Shakur spent 2 years in jail before being acquitted.
Tupac was born a month later.
May 2, 2016: Afeni Shakur died of a heart attack in Sausalito, California.
La générosité ne naît pas de l'abondance, mais de l'âme qui voit la beauté dans l'acte de donner, qu'il soit grand ou humble. Plus riche est celui qui partage son peu, que celui qui, malgré sa richesse, garde tout pour lui.
