Tyler Perry: “Stop And Smell The Roses”
Posted by Media Outrage on May 27, 2009
Tyler Perry has another positive message for the masses.
Not long ago I was leaving a meeting with my lawyer Matt Johnson and my agent Charles King. We’re all about the same age. They are happily married with beautiful children and wives whom they adore. These guys are amazing husbands and fathers but, like me, they work all the time 24 / 7…everything is work, work, work. No time for play. Just work. What made me think about this is that I was talking to Sidney Poitier, who is in his early eighties and is so wise. He said to me, “Life goes by so fast.” That stuck with me.
Anyway, as we were walking out of the building and to the parking lot we were talking about a few things that had gone wrong in the deal and they both were a little frustrated. To tell you the truth I was too. I was venting and was about to start cussing…LOL, when I smelled the sweetest fragrance. I didn’t realize that we were standing in the middle of a garden and all the roses were in bloom. I walked up to one of the roses and smelled it. They thought I was going crazy. I said, “Come smell this.”
Now we are in LA outside of Paramount Pictures. You should have seen the look that these two very strong, very conservative Black men gave me… LOL. They were like, “Lets go!” I said, “COME SMELL THIS!” They indulged me. They smelled the rose very quickly and embarrassingly…LOL, but I think they got the point. I have to admit, it must have been strange for all the passersby to see these three big black men standing in a garden smelling a rose. But I didn’t care at that moment. It stopped my complaining and reminded me of my God’s goodness.
In this life we have so much to thank God for. And many times we take them for granted. That moment became about my life. It became a sign for me to take some time to smell the flowers. It was about me being grateful for every little thing. It was about loving as hard as I can and forgiving those who can’t accept it. And to take that same amount of love to the next person that comes along. If you’ve loved someone as hard as you can and they can’t accept it, don’t punish the next person that comes into your life. Give them that same opportunity. And if you get hurt then “SO.” At least you have loved. What good is getting to be 100 years old and being full of regrets? Love somebody and I promise you that if you give love it will come back. You reap what you sow. Love again. What do you have to lose? As you journey to love and be loved, stop along the way and take time to smell the roses. Life is but a moment.

Forget the roses let’s try and understand how BAD his 2 tv shows are.
They are both the worst fucking shows I’ve ever waisted a half-hour of my life watching. I’d rather fuck a midget with big tits and massive armpit hair.
Dickwell Thrust said
Tyler Perry’s shows are the most atrocious things that God has ever allowed a human being to develop on television.
..That show is about as funny as the all Hilter Channel in Jewish New york!

Lmao @ dt
Why can’t he come up with some shit like “THE GAME?” Them shits are horrible. Me and this chick were watching House of Payne and before the first commercial My 13′ inch Penis was in her hand, cause I’d rather catch a RAPE CHARGE out in DENVER than watch that bullshit.

I read this yesterday. He is so right.
Damn DT & Marathon! Ya’ll went hard for real! LOL!
I don’t care for House Of Payne but I do like Meet The Browns.
Marathon_Man said
MissTX none of those shows are good at all. I’ve tried to watch House of Payne and wanted to take a pair of scissors to my grill piece.
MEET The Browns just made me want to shoot my best friend’s mom in the eye.
