Just a random after thought from the death of MR michael jackson,Though it has little to do with the king of bleach.After the media blitzerg filled with his biography and his "freaky" behaviour. There's only one other thing in common in all the write ups.How he has touched the lives of those living in his generation. How he empowered the blacks to create their own music, though i can't say i thank him for that due to the likes of jay Z and 50 cents who shld just perform fallatio on each other( pardon my biasness) however what i can think him for would be performers such as Akon?hahah that's besides the point.anyway the point is influence.Not all of us will have the luxury to be gifted with such genius or the opportunities to ever come close to the touch he had on the millions aroun us. Everyone of us above the age of let's say 16 in Singapore would have heard of him. And if the accounts are by any means true he wld have probably touched the same amount of lives as the singaporean population and i do not mean literally...alone. Apparently he opened up doors or motivated mega celebrities such as beyonce to where they are though i doubt they knew him personally. Doors that are opened because they are encouraged by him. i guess it goes to show that a life filled with achievements is worth following..you don't see them naming a random black to be their hero for undoubtably no black has done more than him...maybe Obama?whatever i detest obama.But unlike some commercial motivation book you see in bookshops around you promising you a better life or some other bullshit i will be frank...NO you will NVR be like MJ or the douchebag OBAMA. YOU can however be TOM DICK OR HARRY or TOM's DICK's HARRY whichever you prefer.That's the unfortunate truth...There is however a sliver of silver lining in this.WE can't be another MJ but around us is an aura.A sphere of influence.We can't influence millions or help kick start a religion like the apostles.However we have at least the ability to influence at minumum two people in our lives.why two? ourselves and someone else. it's that simple? a simple gesture of kindness to the classmate that sniff glue...or the boy that cuts the hair of the girls sitting infront of him. A simple positive thought to urself when you are feeling dejected, it has nvr been the mammoth that matters for we are microscopic and smth that huge wld probably elude us anyway! you don't see us killing bacteria by slapping the air do you?it's funny how we are concerned about his death and not the lessons learnt.
