Well, it's was expected to happen. And finally someone created a crisis and made the overlooked obvious. Nobody is surprised. Or at least they shouldn't be. Things are changing, a bit late but still changing. Get used to it.
I have some things I take the soul out of them too, Track. But the fashion of looking like worn out goods disgust me. I see it as a insult towards people who can not afford anythiing, not just new clothes. The statement is shallow, the pretence is sickening.
The question is why they buy them, nevermind wear them. Spending money on something that looks like chewed and spat out is not a fashion but pure idiotism .
Ecery experience in life is a chance for a change. Your way of thinking, your health, appearance, education, career, relationships... It shows you directions you can follow for the better. It is up to you if you think you are too good to change or you can have a better life if you do. There's no pressure in it, no going against the will. If you can understand it you can accept it.
Girls are more ready to be fluid when it comes to getting the man. They adapt to the need and taste and likes of every man they meet. Which sooner or later makes them feel betrayed, used, manipulated. Finding their own personality becomes quite a difficult thing to do. And it gets worse with time if they do not want to be fair with themselves.
Nothing dramatic here, Grand... If we steer clear from getting too deep into the psychology of the human behaviour we can easily agree that many would benefit from changing a thing or two about themselves. Loving yourself means nothing but being the better verson of yourself and not just force acceptance of your negatives. We can not expect our partner, friends, whoever to have to put up with us no matter what. But demand change from others. The amount of single or in casual relationship people is enough of a proof. That's all...
We change all the time (if we allow it) . And that's the way we evolve and improve and strive to better ourselves. Doesn't really matter if you found your inspiration in someone else or you simply like to see yourself in a different light. If someone sees more in you than you see yourself or someone is preventing you from seeing your real worth. The change is life itself and we can't top it. But we can deny it and delay it and fight it all the way.
We don't even realise how spoiled we have become. And the worst is that we do apply our own experience on people who have little or nothing to do with our lifestyle and cultures. General statements are a way to stroke our consciousness as we do not know everything and we are not always right as we believe we are. Someone who has to hunt his own food might look at you as a total looser for not doing it yourself. Someone with loads of money may be laughing at you for trying to excuse your lack of ability to make money... Sooo...
"Means nothing" as it is never clear if it's recent or if it the same person. Many stage their photos, showing "reality" different from their actual one. People falling for scammers or fake "real" people are way too many, let's be honest. Therefor, having a photo up isn't what we think it is...not anymore.
Having a photo up means nothing. I can see people who haven't changed theirs since I joined this site 10 years ago. I can be put off faster by a photo than a lack of one. But yes, a photo says even more than we realise.
We are part of the nature and we have to finaly come to terms with it. And more importantly to accept we are creators too. Trying too hard to live like a bird isn't exactly a way to "go back" to nature. Silk and cotton are better than sintetic but it was the human who developed the process and thought a way to turn a waste product into something useful. Let's not beat ourselves too hard for wanting a better and easier life for ourselves.
The right to make a choice is very limited in any society today... We like to flatter ourselves it is otherwise. The majority should outweight the minority and yet we witness the opposite more and more often... People become what they most firecely stand against...
