Kindness - I've seen much more lately because like some Renegades, I'm of a much older generation. I've connected because Ren is the voice I don't have. To stay mobile, I have a cane and a service dog to help me out. My observation is that there are people of all ages who still do simple things out of kindness. Simply holding a door, etc. I'm mindful to appreciate those courtesies, and thank those that offer assistance. The ones that annoy me are those that cut me off or some other simple self centered action (most common is walking directly towards me while consumed by their cell phone) in which case I just stop and stand. I don't say a word, and let them discover how rude they are and the most common reaction is them saying "Sorry" as they continue on. The sad part of those people are that they are not actually sorry, they've just been taught that "sorry" fixes almost anything they've done, iow, there are no consequences as long as they apologize, but are never taught that empty apologies don't fix anything. Also, I enjoy seeing the various street artwork you highlight in your vids. Kudos (not Kujo's) to you.

The first part is a reference to the Bible 1Tim. 6:6-11

[@iowahooch]

I got married in Vegas a year ago and we stayed at the Golden Nugget . After walking Fremont street a few times I vowed I won't go back. Not because of the homeless or drug addicts but because of the arrogant rich people who just laugh and walk over the homeless. Truly heartbreaking

[@cathywethington5913]

We have two politicians in my town who have been running for mayor for decades because they want to implement a plan that would really help the homeless here. They can't seem to get any traction. People just keep voting for the man who has literally done nothing for our town. I think people would rather close their eyes and pretend homelessness doesn't exist than to find a solution. I even had someone who works with local facilities for the homeless tell me that those out on the streets are addicts and there's nothing I can do to help

[@toddraisor741]

I would've agreed with you about a year ago about kindness being gone in America. But lately I've found out that the more I show kindness, it's contagious. I start to see that there's still kindness here. It's just a little harder to see sometimes. I still have some hope 🇺🇸

[@majbrat]

Literally what Ren is trying to espouse. Lift others up is better for you and the one you raise up. It multiplies.

[@1individeo]

There is kindness people like Ren and Harry Mack made have faith in humanity. You realize you dont have to do much to make the world a better place. A simple "good morning" to the first person you see in the morning in the street is already making the world a better place, it brings back "human" in the world humanity. Giving your seat in the underground to someone else if you already made half the way is a simple way to make this sphere a better place.

[@majbrat]

Ren has said he was lucky, but also it was his persistence in looking for answers by joining support groups of others suffering, doing research, & then vlogging his journey because he thought he was going to die, which led to the stem cell doctor seeing his story. His girlfriend helped him raise money to try treatments and when that opportunity came to raise money to fly to the U.S. for surgery. He knew many in those groups who lived in pain like him, died in pain, took their own lives because they could not endure; the majority do not have access to the money to cure them. He got VERY emotional in the livestream for MoneyGame 3 because this world has enough money and resources to feed and heal almost everyone, research cures with a focus to heal all, and feed all. But Greed stops it. It was heartbreaking and also beautiful to see how much he cares for humanity. ❤

Great reaction ❤

[@jujugar9442]

It’s hard to fathom how people can spend thousands of dollars on “stuff” while others are struggling to put food on the table. How do people like that sleep at night? Love your reaction. You did our Sick Boi proud! ❤

[@lynette.]

This is a powerful piece. The message gets stronger every listen.

[@REN4eva]

Another good reaction from you, much appreciated. The story you told about the expensive things is so important to consider. You are so right, that crap does the same job as the Walmart stuff. The people who pay that much money for it don't look cool, they just look stupid and selfish as hell. Ren is the most amazing person and artist I have ever come across in my 70+ years of life. He opens our eyes, minds and hearts like no other and changes the world one soul at a time. Hopefully he still has a long time to continue doing that.

[@TheLVME]

Thank you. And thank you for commenting. Ren is a rare talent we are blessed to witness.

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

Jared this was a great reaction! The thoughts you were speaking on at the end is about how i feel myself. I have always spread kindness. It does not cost a soul one penny to be kind. I just cannot understand why people have to be hateful more and more. Looking forward to more Ren and his amazing music for a very long time. Praying for him 🙏🏻

[@noorieiversen]

He said fuck bullies!! ❤

[@TheLVME]

Ahh! Thank you, that makes a lot more sense in the context of the song!

[@alc6329]

❤

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤❤

[@GW-kf1be]

Thank you for your reaction, loved what you had to say. Ren is just incredible.

[@Kimava62]

That’s crazy that you see those extremes of society on a daily basis. I bet if there are people out there trying to make a difference on the streets to help out, they won’t be the people that are shopping in that mall. Don’t give up hope, there are a lot of kind people out there still 💕

[@noorieiversen]

I'm proud of you doing what you want and love. ❤ Stay true to you nomatter what. Labels are for the insecure.

[@TheLVME]

Thank you very much.🙏

[@Insanesibak]

Great reaction, love the perspective you brought to this! Hope your channel grows as it deserves to!

[@Jadedxx]

Man you're gonna love this one! Real artistry 🖤🔥🤘

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

Great commentary. I appreciate your perspective on this song.

[@TheLVME]

Thank you. 👊

[@streekee]

Found you through your REN reactions and you’ve been informative and insightful, taught me quite a lot and it’s been really interesting. Another great reaction to our beautiful sick boi🫶

[@ArthurRex-x4m]

Always like your reaction to Ren First spoken word part is intro and biblical book of Timothy RENs rap is so impactful it’s important it’s really real

[@TheLVME]

Thanks for the info on the quote. I knew it sounded familiar. Appreciate you watching and commenting

[@graemepenton5851]

He keeps on keeping on

[@heikebroy8692]

Loved your reaction to this awesome track🔥❤🔥

[@salishseamermaid]

Ren always gets us thinking.

[@philliphall9817]

Susan here. Great reaction to this important song.

[@petesparrow4101]

Love your reactions

[@rkoutz]

Always tune in to your Ren reactions and others as well! Thanks for the great content!

[@sampanther8854]

Great reaction thank you ❤✌️

[@CatchAUAP]

Great react bro. U get it

[@AllisterDarcy]

Appreciate your solid breakdown - [ 66 years old renegade Yorkshire UK ]

[@jprph1]

That intro as other’s have said is a quote from first letter to Timothy ( 1 Timothy 6:6-10)

[@Cdaddy78]

I love your vids bro. You have a good ear. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@ines_uk]

One of the best songs Ren has created!

[@Dr.Brummel]

Great reaction again. Thanks 👍❤ Have you seen the graffiti of his face by Mick Mowgli in Brighton? He has a video about it on his RenMakesStuff channel. I'll send you some links. Regarding luxury items: They are becoming more and more expensive, even though the products themselves are not changing. The cost of producing a bag that costs thousands of dollars is probably only a few hundred. But people buy it anyway. And a quote from Bob Marley that another reactor led me to: Some people are so poor, all they have is money.

[@sam0ah1]

Good Shit!

[@francesdoll4039]

He bought his wRdrobr here at a discount store, i hear it was a $2 tie, $10 shirt, $20 coat cheapo baggy trousers .

[@amyf9835]

😊

[@sanfordgfogg]

I propose a 100% luxury tax on those high dollar shoes and watches, AND dedicate the use of that money to give housing and food and clothes to those that need it (regardless of who or where they are. (Let's ignore that politicians would F* that up.) Let individuals feed their Egos while making it productive for humanity.

[@zelenozubi]

🔥💪

[@TWFydGlu]

The quote is 1 Timothy 6:6-10

[@CamilleKenneyjr-p4e]

Scripture

[@MegsD79]

🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙💥💥💥

[@ricksurratt9034]

I feel that I’m 63 years old and was let go my job after 21 years basically they said I’m too old. I can’t produce like I used to just because of money they could’ve gave me an easier job but I made good money and they needed to get rid of it. Fuck greed. I like your interpretation. Also very good.👍🏽🐷✌🏼

[@ricksurratt9034]

Just sidenote since I’ve been retired and I don’t have to do that 9 to 5 grind I feel a lot better. I’ll have a lot of money but I’m not putting money in somebody else’s pocket. That’s what burns my ass. This is a multi million dollar company and it’s full of greed it’s toxic. I’m glad I got away from it.

[@ShondaLouisianaMama]

Oddly enough, I’m in the same situation that you’re in right now. I work in advertising and I am miserable. I can’t do it anymore. I’m leaving at the end of the year and I have no idea what I’m gonna do next.

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

@@ShondaLouisianaMama wishing you success in whatever fate leads you to. It takes great courage to make a change like that. You will prevail 💪🏻

[@ShondaLouisianaMama]

@@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe you are amazing. Thanks for your kind words.

[@helenjarvis7755]

Money and greed 😢

[@cathywethington5913]

It's so weird that people are impressed by what others wear or drive or own. Why? It's not like ownership contributes anything to the world. And like you said those thousand+ things don't do anything more than the ones you buy at Wal-Mart, or for that matter, a thrift store. And when people are constantly trading in perfectly good devices like phones, do they ever consider the consequences for the environment or the people where some of the elements for those devices are mined? Arrrgggg. I could rant for hours on this and the way we treat the homeless in this country😠😠😠
