On the ‘image’ thing.
Once upon a time it was the height of fashion for men to wear platform shoes, shoulder width collars and bell bottoms. Image comes and goes.
Once upon a time women had 3 foot beehive hairdoos and pillbox hats, wearing enough blue eyeshadow to make the sky envious.
Reality is what we make it. If we as a people say screw the BS that we have been fed regarding image etc, it holds no power. But enough people have to be willing to think for themselves. Perhaps someday enough people will have had their fill of having ‘reality’ dictated to them by someone other than themselves.
Well only to slightly disagree, reality is what it is, 'life' is what we make of it. Problem is (as I wrote earlier) someone once told me that everybody has their own perception of reality using the very same set of facts.
