MONEY, SUCCESS, FAME, GLAMOUR

It's what society these days is all about isn't it? Everywhere in the media, they're after you saying, If you don't chase these ideals that society currently holds, then you're NOBODY. And a lot of us are scared of being NOBODY. Yeah, outloud, some of us are afraid to admit this but deep down, i bet most of us do. I say most not all, because there might be someone out there (in yonder wide world) who genniuenly might not care. However, recently, i was talking to one of my friends when i really should have been finishing my To kill a Mockingbird monologue, and they said they were phobic about not being liked. Which is understandable, considering the fact that they're hormonal adoloescents and probably have Imaginary Audience Phenomena, a form of adolescent egocentrism that basically, as the name suggests, makes teenagers constantly worry that they look bad. Eg: They're at a party with a tiny stain on their shirt/shorts/shoes/socks and they think that everytime somone so much as glances at them, that the person noticed the stain, and think, 'What a klutz,' In reality, everyone's too drunk to notice the stain. On the plus side, the victim was probably to stressed about the stain to actually drink. Or the reverse could happen and in two hours, they're getting their stomach pumped from alcohol poisoning or whaterver. Moving on pass that lovely note... FAME: Well, you certainly can't be a nobody if everyone that matters knows who you are. GLAMOUR: It's often being confused with pretty, and not a lot of people would choose grotesquely ugly over being stunningly attractive. On the other hand, if you're stunningly attractive with lots of fawning adoration and stalkers, well... MONEY: Do I even need to explain this one? People would pretty much do anything for bits of metal and paper. Though i like to think i'd stop if it meant someone would get killed. SUCESS: Being the top of any profession you choose. What more could you ask for? I haven't included intelligence in this because intelligence would come under basically all of them. Also with being manipulative and holding few morals. J, signing off, thinking about if anyone will agree with me on this blog post.
