Childhood Personalities A Double Standard 23934
Being a boy I danced and shook to-the music of Elvis Presley along with the remaining portion of the kids within my generation. I was shocked to know how h-e died from the utilization of drugs but even though I heard of his death I still was unable to get the significance of it. Ive had decades to think the importance of it and I'm sure it doesnt are categorized as the heading of great experiences from my childhood. It's less complicated than it was when I first heard of it but I'm way too old now to just pass it off with an one-word cover all like, disaster.
It is far worse than loss, it's an experience that or even carefully examined and assessed could get by without anyone seeing that it's a dangerous double standard that our childhood rarely ever see until they are dangerously near to saying it in their own lives.
No body could argue that Jimmy Hendrix was a cutting-edge rock and roll artist but he died from a drug overdose. No body could say they didnt feel Janis Joplin did a bang up job with songs like Bobby McGee but shes another medicine overdose injury. David Belushi made people laugh but h-e joined the ranks of the dead by drugs in his prime.
Enter the suicides like Freddy Prinze, Curt Cobain, and the list goes on. It isnt the lives, the abilities or the careers of those people that falls in-to question; perhaps it's not really how they died that's the largest double standard. What we are saying about these people following their deaths could be the real issue.
To continually reference the abilities, the routines or the recognition of the people without regard to the situation of how they met their end is just a dangerous oversight. It is a way of saying that death from suicide or drug overdose goes with the territory. Media extols and illustrates their lives for the media reason, perhaps not for the youth who purvey the pop culture seeking role-models and celebrities. Oftentimes it's difficult enough to spell out the lives they lived much less their deaths.
Showing kids fried eggs and comparing that for their brains on drugs could have little effect if we proceed to glorify the lives of those who fried their very own brains to the stage of death. If we keep feeding our youth the business enterprise of their lives how wont in addition they be provided by the types of their deaths?
I still have fond remembrances of days when I danced to the music of the King. Im now happy to say I've chose to dance to the song of a new King.

That King never took drugs, didnt commit suicide and beat death instead of using it to cop out. His death produces life for others; in-fact there's no life without him.
Jesus may have lived the lowly living of a suffering Messiah nevertheless the Bible says he will reunite as the omnipotent ruling King of Kings and Lords of Lords.
