For The Love Of

Advanced skills in ranting are something that God has blessed me with. Skills I am proud of. Unsurprisingly this is going to be a rant. Not the kind of ranting that starts off about there being too much violence in the media and ends up about why semi skimmed is the best kind of milk. But a well thought out, somewhat concise rant.

Why are people so bothered about things?

I recently read an article about well known model Cara Delevingne; the long and short of it was that the author was happy that due to a new tattoo Miss Delevingne may no longer get any more modelling jobs. So as a consequence he wouldn't have to put up with her face plastered onto billboards and between the pages of magazines.

My question to him is, why does he care? How can seeing her face make such a difference to his life that he no longer wants her to have a career? It's ludicrous!

We all might have our bug-bears but publishing them in such public forums is just plain mean, and it's not newsworthy. Yet alas, articles like this exist all over the place, it's commonplace for people to write about things that, to be honest, don't really matter. Everyone does it, hell even I've done it. But does that mean it's acceptable?

Further examples of this (genuine 'news' articles):

Harry Styles wears a headband
Rita Ora dresses like a bee
Kylie Jenner eats sushi
Emma Roberts carries a heavy suitcase
Liam Hemsworth looks sad in an airport

How do the people who write these articles not feel an overwhelming bitter sense of disappointment in themselves.

WHEN WILL THIS END

Peace and blessings.x
