Childhood Personalities A Double Standard 46487
Being a boy I danced and shook for the music of Elvis Presley along side the rest of the kids within my generation. I was shocked to listen to how he died from the utilization of drugs but even though I heard of his death I still was unable to gather the significance of it. Ive had years to ponder the importance of it and I'm sure it doesnt are categorized as the heading of good experiences from my youth. It is less confusing than it was when I first heard about it but I'm much too old now to just pass it off with an one-word cover all like, disaster.
It's far worse than disaster, it's an event that or even carefully examined and assessed could slip by without anyone seeing that it's a dangerous double standard that our childhood seldom ever see until they're dangerously close to saying it inside their own lives.
No body could argue that Jimmy Hendrix was an innovative rock and roll artist but h-e died from the drug overdose. Us Drug Overdose Deaths Drop For First Time Since 1990 includes more concerning why to engage in this view. No body would 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 he joined the ranks of the dead by medicines in his prime.
Enter the suicides like Curt Cobain, Freddy Prinze, and the list goes on. It isnt the lives, the abilities or the careers of these people that falls in to question; perhaps it is not really how they died that is the largest double standard. What we say about these people following their deaths could be the real problem.
To continually make reference to the skills, the life styles or the popularity of those people without regard to the matter of how they met their end can be a dangerous oversight. It's a way of saying that death from suicide or drug overdose goes with the territory. Media demonstrates and extols their lives for the media reason, perhaps not for the youth who purvey the pop-culture in search of role models and celebrities. In many cases it's hard enough to explain the lives they lived not as their deaths. To get one more interpretation, we recommend people view at: http://futurally.com/news/us-drug-overdose-deaths-drop-for-first-time-since-1990/0171711/.
Showing kiddies fried eggs and comparing that with their brains on drugs will have little effect if we continue to glorify the lives of those who fried their particular brains to the point of death. If we keep giving our youth the business of their lives how wont in addition they be provided by the types 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 tune of the new King. Drugs never were never taken by this King, didnt commit suicide and defeat death rather than using it to cop out. His death produces life for others; the truth is there's no life without him.
Jesus may have lived the lowly life of a suffering Messiah but the Bible says he will return as the omnipotent ruling King of Kings and Lords of Lords. Discovery 19:16.
