Pac is such a tragic story. So much potential squandered because he wanted play gangster. But it's obviously much deeper than that. Psychologically there was still something eating him up inside....and it's a shame he wasn't able to overcome it before his death. But i think he was on his way to doing some special things in this world. It's easy to forget he was still a kid in many ways. I think he probably gave his heart to too many people who took advantage of him. And as a result that made him feel like he always had to prove himself. His childhood of being the weak one made him over compensate and go too far in the opposite direction. And I think that's something we all do. But overtime we grow and eventually find that middle ground. But pac never was able to reach that point.
It's a classic example of what can happen if you don't master yourself. I can't even count how many incidents of road rage I've had. How many times I've gotten out my car and confronted somebody. Somebody who could have had a gun and shot me dead. And I'm 8 years older than pac was when he died. It sounds cliche as fukk but the battle is always with yourself. Don't fukk around and get killed because you're still haunted by your past. Pac was intelligent enough to understand this concept. But the subconscious can't apply concept if you still view yourself as a scared child. You can call yourself strong all day, but if your coding says something different it don't mean shyt. But I definitely feel pac would have eventually beat his demons. He just got wrapped up in the wrong life.
But either way, we can still watch his interviews and see the man he would have eventually become and learn from it.
