Superficiality in our world... - 08-13-03

I don't know if anyone else notices how shallow and superficial our world has become but I know it's something that really pisses me off. Now i know u Keri ur gunna think im silly for putting this in here but as u know i feel super strong about people x cepting everyone for who they are and not judging them on what they look like. Im sick of magazines and TV dictating to people what they should or shouldnt look like or what they should or shouldnt wear. i know this topic will affects guys as well as girls but i think it affects girls much more. I also know that this may start some controversy but just to let everyone know im not tryin to put n e 1 donw who feels good about them selves im happy for u if u do i wish i could feel like that. n e way i hope u post ur thoughts too!


You were always there,
Then you dissappeared,
It's almost as if you were never here.
You being miserable,
Your sadness bringing me down,
This is something I don't need,
I'm being run into the ground.
I'm the only person you trest like this,
It's unfair,
I've never done anything to you,
All I've ever done was care.
I'm through with caring,
You're a lost cause,
Someone I don't even consider.
Though I may be bitter,
It's like you never existed at all....

I work in a university trying to improve animal welfare, I have friends I love deeply and talk about everything with. It is you choice whether you participate in superficially things, or focus on what is important.

Yeah? Well I'm sick of people telling me to not be superficial! "Ooh, you are such a superficial person, don't listen to fashion, get into the super secret cool undergound music blah blah blah..." Listen to me, unless your a monk or some other wandering ascetic preaching the glories of abstinece, I consider YOU just as superficial as the next guy.

You WILL judge a person by what he wears or how he looks, because that's how we judge! If I came to your wearing nothing but a poo-stained rag, unshaven and drooling, you'll judge me differently then if I came up to you in a nice business suit. We're not some alien race that can see through people' souls and we don't have time to get to know everybody, so judging by stereotype can help sometimes. You should always consider excpetions are possible, but stereotypes ARE THERE FOR A RESON and most of the time there are shades of truth underlying them.

You're right of course, but at times it is very difficult not to let the pathetic consummerist miasma we live in get you down...

Still, Nil Despirandum... There are plenty of beautiful things out there if you look for them...

Well this is sufficiently random.


A golden energy
Was rising out of my head
I shed my evil skin
And found myself again

I was wrong, I don't mind
The impossible seems possible
This time I'm an electric wire
If the sun can radiate then so can I

There's also nothing wrong with pretty things and entertaionment -- so long as you have other stuff -- friends, a purpose etc.

A purpose is good. Hehe...

I think the important question is this: Are we too superficial in today's world?

I would say yes. Of course, like Thrym said, we're going to judge on appeareances, however illogical that may be...but too much importance is put upon how people look and what category they fall into. Why not just live?

It's quite difficult when you believe that life goes nowhere and it's totally useless.

I can't say that I believe in the great creators divine plan either, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy life. The only advice I can give you is to use a bit of imagination and find something to use your life for...
