Oprah's Master Class

[KateTheCursed]

I'm not interested in jumping into the "is she or isn't Stevie blessed" debate because frankly I can see both sides of the coin and believe there are equal merits & truths to both sides of the argument. I do, however, feel it is just a bit narrow-minded and even offensive to equate a comfortable financial situation and time in the lime light to a blessed existence. There are all kinds of hardships in the world...some of which all the money in the world can't help and existing under the microscope of intense public attention and expectations just makes all the more uncomfortable. I had a cousin who's mother adored him. He was given most everything ever wanted in life from the time he could talk. From the outside looking in, he led a charmed life...up until the day he hung himself. Believe me, there were plenty of blessings that he turned his back on and more torment than I care to think about. But to stand outside and assume one knows the content of another's heart and the weight of their trials...
