the world today

It took me a long time to write this blog. I started it two weeks ago and just had random thoughts flying out that needed to be connected. I came back a couple of times to try to figure out how I wanted to say this. I know I probably should have a laconic blog and writing style, but for me that takes editing. I am a wordy writer and I have a drafting process. So here it goes…

It’s wonderful when someone can be confident in him/her self. But, it seems that the people of this generation are being drawn in to a culture that continues to emphasize perfect bodies, beautiful homes, and luxurious cars instead of the morals of a family-oriented America. Is this culture completely decadent?

There are certain situations that trigger the cynical side within all of us and a certain emotional rage. Even the most self-assured person can begin to question who he/she is. Sometimes this is opportune and serves as a form of self-discovery. But it seems to be happening more frequently and it quite honestly worries me. I have seen instances in which comments were made that were not necessarily disparaging but left someone completely deprecated. I’m not sure if these recurrent, subtle suggestions are or are not meant to be hurtful, but either way teenagers (and everyone for that matter) must be wary of the personal indictments that we make against each other. These accusations can prompt self-hate, which can cause detrimental action if not helped. Be conscious of the way that society affects us. Brittany Murphy’s death for example, was most-likely due do to some sort of eating disorder. Even if this is not true, pictures of her abnormally thin body at the time of her death were distributed worldwide. However, the issue was not accosted as it should have been. I understand the empathy for the family and the desire to leave her death untainted, but for the sake of the girls who need to learn, this question of her weight problem/eating disorder should have been addressed. By not spreading awareness, people are more-likely to keep their issues surreptitious. They will try to be stoic and not ask for help. It will result in malcontents. There will be more miserable people dying as insecure phonies. I don’t like the viciousness that girls exemplify towards each other and the judgments that are made . I know that some may think I am a hypocrite because I do judge people like everyone else, but I am just saying there needs to be more tolerance in the world. I would like to see a more confident generation. Confident as in self-assured and happy.

Tolerance is infectious. Spread it.
