Why Oh Why?

These days it is hard to focus on things in life because we live in the society that does not want us to want us to be different but wants us to conform to the standards that everyone seems to follow. but why do we follow these standards. aren't we supposed to be different isn't that what we are taught in school is to be different? it's like Elizabeth said holidays are commercialized and depending on the holiday is what you get to see on the self.

That is why i hate reality shows because it over glorifies people who have no talent and puts them on a world stage to make a fool of themselves and yeah it is entertaining for awhile then it gets annoying like flava- flav had what three shows on finding love until he decided he wanted to be with his baby's momma. honestly this is what makes us move away from family time and move towards polluting our minds with nonsense. The thing it comes down to is ratings and people will do whatever it takes to get them. i honestly don't want to see some thirty year old guy running around a house drunk on MTV because he thinks it's the real world, but in fact the real world is having a job and paying taxes and working for what you plan to achieve in life. I mean how is it that children refuse to learn to spell and pursue a valid education while in school but they can learn to spell from a rap song and say that an education is invalid in the streets because they want to be a rapper, well more than likely they will not be a rapper and the people that put these songs out there are the ones that end up in prison for the crimes that they rap about. doesn't that pollute the minds of children? and isn't that part of the reason why so many prisons are becoming overcrowded?

All you have to do is look around at the society that we live in and you will notice that so many people neglect the values that most uphold. I was at work the other day and a lady came in about twenty years old with a son, when she was leaving she left her son at the front of the store and walked across the street to go to McDonald's leaving her son at out store. and it was about forty five minutes before she came back. what parent leaves there child like that and upon that the police let her take her son home. Now what does it come to when we let people get away with things like that but the second you discipline your child in public you get arrested for being a parent.

All in all what it comes down to is that our society is messed up that is why you see these girls on magazine covers that weigh like 90 pounds and you hear people say that they want to be like them and we accept the fact that golfers can have affairs and people say that it is OK, knowing that it is not OK and it is morally wrong and i get tired of hearing about it and i get tired of hearing about spoiled little brats such as Paris Hilton and Lindsay lohan because they are idiots and don't know the meaning of the word no. i mean for once i would love to turn on a television and not have my brain rotted by useless information, they spend so much talking about celebrities and there flaws knowing that it is not there place to judge others but god's place and yet you hear nothing about INVISIBLE CHILDREN, or that children die everyday because of lack of nourishment. i believe that if we put as much effort as we put in listening to useless music or filling ourselves with useless information into helping others than it would be a better world but only slightly and in time the effort we put forth might affect others around the world in ways we never thought were possible.
