Childhood People A Double Standard 24034
As a child I danced and shook towards the music of Elvis Presley along side the remaining portion of the kiddies in my generation. Us Drug Overdose Deaths Drop For First Time Since 1990 is a unusual resource for more concerning where to look at this belief. I was surprised to hear how he died from the application of drugs but even though I heard of his death I still was not able to gather the significance of it. Ive had years to think the significance of it and I'm sure it doesnt are categorized as the heading of good experiences from my childhood. It is less confusing than it was when I first heard of it but I'm way too old now to only pass it off with an one-word cover all like, tragedy.
It is much worse than loss, it is an event that if not carefully examined and weighed would get by without anyone seeing that it is a dangerous double standard until they're dangerously close to saying it in their own lives that our childhood rarely ever see.
No-one would argue that Jimmy Hendrix was an innovative rock and roll artist but h-e died from the drug over-dose. No one would say they didnt think Janis Joplin did a bang up job with songs like Bobby McGee but shes another drug overdose injury. David Belushi made people laugh but he joined the ranks of the dead by drugs in his prime.
Enter the suicides like Freddy Prinze, Curt Cobain, and the list continues. It isnt the lives, the talents or the careers of those people that falls into question; perhaps it's not even how they died that's the biggest double standard. What we say about these individuals following their deaths is the real issue.
To consistently reference the advantages, the life styles or the fame of these people without regard to the matter of how they met their end can be a dangerous oversight. It's a way of stating that death from suicide or drug overdose goes with the territory. Media extols and demonstrates their lives for the press sake, maybe not for the youth who purvey the pop-culture seeking role models and symbols. In many cases it's hard enough to explain the lives they lived much less their deaths.
Showing kiddies fried eggs and comparing that with their brains on drugs will have little effect if we proceed to glorify the lives of those who fried their own brains to the point of death. If we keep giving our childhood the business enterprise of their lives how wont they also be fed by the manner of their deaths?
I still have fond remembrances of times when I danced to the music of the King. Im now happy to say I've decided to dance to the song of a new King. Drugs never were never taken by this King, didnt commit suicide and defeat death instead of using it to cop-out. His death provides life for others; the truth is there's no life without him.
Jesus might have lived the lowly life of a suffering Messiah but the Bible says he will get back because the omnipotent ruling King of Kings and Lords of Lords. Revelation 19:16.
