Fuel for thought.

A few things have been bugging me lately, just about the the world and society in general.
When did we become a society that cares more about the rich then we do the poor, more to the point, what the rich are doing with their money.

When did we put people on a pedestal who DON'T deserve to be there? why must we know every facet of their lives? Where they go, what they do, who they're with?

And more importantly why, when we do have someone good in our faces, do we tear them to fucking shreds? why are we always looking for something bad they're hiding, something they did wrong, something to tarnish them? I can say it doesn't make me feel good about myself when i find out that Tiger Woods has monogamy issues, I get no satisfaction from it. And im sure his wife didn't either.

Why do I live in a society that lies, just because someone is in the media, it doesn't mean they are there because they want attention, (even though, i'm sure a lot of the time it is), but sometimes people want to follow they're dreams and do the things they love, and that brings them attention. Is it so terrible, they don't want you to know every detail about them.

I don't feel comfortable being in a world where people get more attention for being 'socialites', then for having artistic merit, writing an amazing song in a basement, writing one UNFORGETTABLE lyric in a song. Writing a book with a quote people can guide their lives on. A photograph that drives you to achieve your goals.
When did Paris Hilton's hand bag line... or her puppy dog become more important, than living a life that you yourself can be proud of? Why don't we care about that? When did our society stop having heart? Why am I a minority?

It might be tabloids that do it. But WE FUEL IT. We buy the magazines, we talk about it, we believe it, we judge by it. And it's a load of shit. Every person i know, would want a fairer go than being judged on the front of a mazazine.

I think I'm done.. and If you've read this, i hope its fuel for thought.
