Raise Your Hand

Another random, before bed thought, but are you as sick and tired of hearing about Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan as I am? For pity sake, leave them alone. You know what? The media is causing everyone to expect them to get into trouble, to go into drug rehabs and all that crap, so guess what? They do it. After all, it's a heck of a lot easier to do what's expected of you than to take the long road and do what ISN'T expected of you.

Now I'm not saying what these girls are doing is right. I'm not even saying that what other celebrities do that they shouldn't is right. What I am saying is that if we allow the media to make us think this is what we should expect from them, then guess what....that's exactly what we're going to get from them. People say they don't like so and so anymore because of all the bad things they've done, but they need to give it up. What really makes us not like someone anymore is when they do something we don't expect them to. Why? Because we as humans do not like change. If we expect something then it had better go that way. We don't want any changes to our mindsets.

I'm beginning to wonder if animals aren't actually smarter than we are. After all, they don't hold prejudices and they don't hold expectations like we do.
