"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." - Bill Cosby
With that lovely quote I think I'm on the right track to success...try to please everybody? What does that even mean?
I think we're living in the times where it's so easy to please everyone. Heck, a simple "like" of a status that you didn't thoroughly read on facebook tells someone you value their opinion. We also live in the times where judging someone else is what we're challenged to do daily. Constant updates are nothing more than someone requesting their own judgement.
Way back in the day before computers, we'd never know if women were dressed scantily clad unless we followed their lifestyle in person. Although I also think way back in the day, they would have been a tad humiliated to find out they were exposed, much less to expose themselves. Privacy is becoming obsolete and it really shouldn't.
There are so many "okays" in the world today that lines are nonexistent and intelligence..well that's right up there with lines. People don't know where they stand because someone can generally make their point manipulatively sound "okay". In reality we have shoddy, classless, unintelligent parodies of once was artistic, brilliant & entertaining.
On a much lighter note, the weekend was great, relaxing & full of delicious food, laughter, swimming, sunshine & movies. Americans sure know how to celebrate Cinco.
