NiNEth

So I was just trying to log in to Myspace when they showed their ads of celebrities. Then it occurred to me, people are just too nosy for their own good. People love drama, even when they say they don't, they subconsciously really do. I used to think it could possibly just American's but then again I could be wrong. We sit down and watch the news hoping and praying something bad didn't happen today when we know full and well that it has, otherwise it wouldn't be news now would it? It truly is funny how the media upplay and downplay certain situations with celebrities, the most recent thing I can think of to use as an example is Miley Cyrus.

If you know of Mily Cyrus then you know that she has had horrible press about her outfits that she wears, some of them being scantily clad or obscene. If you also heard about it, she was taking pictures of herself apparently topless with her friends and her computer got hacked, so as usual the pictures spread and her negative fame grew. But, then after those photos I have seen a photo taken of her for valentine's day wearing a tacky sweater, AND still the onslaught of insults began pouring down. We criticize her if she's obscene AND we criticize her if she dresses differently? I mean what is this world coming to, quite literally?

I know some people might not agree with my points of view, and I'm not saying you have to, but what you do have to do is HEAR/SEE the other point of view. You can't be closed-minded all your life and set in your ways for an eternity. We judge people as if they are different from us, instead we should be rejoicing in our similarities.

My views are slightly distorted, believe me I know, but for those of you who read the bible and are full Christians or what have you, there are many things in the bible that people overlook & that Christians do NOT practice what they preach. A quote that explains this: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" meaning no one is perfect so quit judging people and yet there are people who do nothing BUT judge people. Maybe I overestimate, possibly even myself; I know its hard not to judge people, but I think if we could try to judge less people, that would be better than judging everyone, I mean I'm not mathematician but if you put two and two together.

I will leave it at that, I was going to write more but I started writing this while I was at work and sort of lost my knock-out punch to my outcome.

  1. Thumbs up to you for this, I couldn't agree more. I really do hate it when people judge me by my looks only, so I always try my best not to do the same thing to others.

    Whoop!
