Why are we so focused on these things. I was actually watching some TV and vh1 (once a music channel known for behind the music and the phil collins weekend) is obsessed with how the rich and vain live. Is it because we are obsessed? Why are we so fascinated with others who we put on the soapboxes that we create for them? This goes beyond the mainstream culture. We wait for one person deemed "worthy" to latch on to one idea, and we all clamor for it. What then, is all this for, if not basically for the need of acceptance? Should we not like people for who they are? The appeal of the eye unfortunately is stronger the the appeal of the mind and the heart. And if the heart wants what the eyes see, we are certainly doomed.


I truly do believe what has happened is that somewhere in the line, is that nobody has stood and said "No, we will not be cast into these categories of anything other than human beings!" What is the true appeal of being known? So you can do what you want, or the idea of doing what others assume you should be doing?


My heart is heavy in thinking that we have to dress and look a certain way. It seems as though we are becoming (or always have been) the collective of the content, wanting the mass appeal over the true sastisfaction that comes from being ourselves, good or bad.
