Let's Dance Like We Just Don't Care

The world is such a confusing place.  The moral depravity of society is a direct result of over scrutinizing some behaviors while turning a blind eye to others.   We pick and choose our favorites.  We allow them to commit all sorts of absurdities and then we turn on those we do not like. 

Earlier today while driving in my car I was thinking about what a co-worker said, "The world would be a better place if everyone lost their inhibitions and communicated honestly all the time."

I disagree with the very core of my being.  But I do not feel that absolute suppression is the answer either.  You see, in my opinion people are bluntly honest about the things that do not matter, and dishonest about that which needs absolute truth... there is no longer balance in the world. 

My mother always accused of me of seeing everything as black or white (metaphorically speaking), and I believe this is what caused me to strive to see the shades of grey as I matured into an adult.  That being said, I also feel that this is the reason I do not fit in society.  You see our society has become obsessed with extremes, there are seldom shades of grey anymore because people lack empathy and perception.... they have tuned these things out to overcome depression and turn morbid events into entertainment.   It is almost a survival mechanism to cope with what most have forgotten are horrible rough times.

Miley Cyrus at the VMA's.... people are quick to cast dispersions and drop jaws in shock, but the truth is what she did is no different than what female pop stars have been doing for decades.   The truth is they know that the world is obsessed with extremes so they produce extremes in an attempt to make money.  If it did not work and it did not sell they would not do it.  You, the society, create the monsters that you ridicule.  You have parented an entire generation of soulless people that live for cheap thrills and juicy gossip.  It is disgusting.  And some of you who have said some outright horrible remarks about her, are the same that I have seen flashing your tits at concerts or at bars on mardi gras, or cheating on your wives/husbands while they watch your children so you can go out and whore it up.  Some of you have blown bill money putting shit up your nose, or sucking on the glass dick.  Some of you have been arrested for DUI's or fucked a chick that was barely legal.  Some of you have stolen from close friends and/or family, others have gotten so wasted that you made a complete ass of yourself in public and embarrassed everyone that you are with...........that being said how do you sit on a high horse and judge a girl that has not been allowed to grow up on her own term and has felt forced into this slap in the face just to move on in her life and in her career.  The climb's subtle approach didn't loosen the chains society placed on her. 

Yes her performance was wacky and extreme.....but no more so than a variety of other artists...and fuck you people she has a beautiful voice.  I feel bad for any young people that grow up under the constant scrutiny of the American public, it fucks their heads up so bad.  I would never allow my children to have this fate, because Americans suck ass.  They pretend to hate the things they buy into.  It is disgusting.  It is almost a double life, like an addict.  Their guilty pleasures are rancid and kept secret while they post socially about their morality as though no one knows the real them. 

I am not a huge fan of Miley Cyrus, I like a few of her songs and I am not trying to "defend" her, but I cant help but remember the dance floors at the bars I've visited and seeing people so wasted they were doing the stupidest shit and I can't help but think....what right do you have to judge anyone?

Maybe you should ask yourself why you exhibit the same behaviors that someone you criticize does....try to find a balance and stop living in extremes.   Or better yet, turn off the fucking TV and figure out who the fuck you are!
