Michael Jackson Dead

So he has gone. Someone that was always around in your life, either his music or strange pictures and stories. The press abuse and in a way he was too successful we don't always like people who are too good, they make us realize our own inadequacies. He was too good. The fans may have loved him but the media never did.

I truly don't believe he would abuse any child, you feel it when you watch an interview or you watch him, i am sure he was naive and spent too much time with children not thinking how it could be exploited. You can see people almost pushing their kids to be around him an opportunity a free ticket.

I am most saddened though that there was no one there for him, to help prevent his excesses. He had a good heart, he was probably a bit spoilt sometimes, yet no one was there to stop his extravagances why? In his family, so large, there are bound to be some really caring wonderful people and i am sure a few bad apples i wouldn't want to speculate which ones are which.

People made millions out of him, everyone did, how many people let greed get the better of them around Michael? We are terrible as humans he was adored and hated for his talent and his extraordinary success and when we see something that can truly be exploited, whether it is a good woman getting more money from her husband than she truly should, or someone with access to Michael's talent not thinking what was good for him, perhaps lying to themselves and now we see the result.

On the other hand as well as been exploited, you can see how he may have driven people away. He hadn't lived a normal life so he would be difficult to socialize with perhaps a little immature. He suddenly left home in the early 80s, massive success, he may have been impulsive and childish in his mood swings and a little unpredicatable. I can only guess at the details, however, he was not normal or socially aware and that would have created barriers. You never saw him socializing or heard stories about him him going for a meal with someone or other.

As a hunter gatherer we were meant to exist in small bands dependent on each other, not above the band and able to survive easily without it. Mega stardom is not something we were created to manage. Suddenly you are above everything, you don't need to answer to anybody, because you can buy whatever you required, including phoney friends. This has only recently existed man has spent most of his time struggling to eat, and needing other people to work with to accomplish that.It distorts the way we were meant to live and makes them feel above the rules of nature, able to do and live anyway they want. I don't like that friend well i can do without him or her, i don't like that girl, i will get another, these friends are boring me, i will get some more, i can smash up the hotel and just pay the fine... all these things are stabilizers they are suddenly gone and this naive little boy got lost and no one was there for him. Did he drive away those that mattered, or were those that mattered too scared to help, or did they have too much vested interest? We will never know..

I heard someone saying the simplest thing about MJ, he made a lot of people happy and he was truly talented no doubt and for that we should be saddened. He gave a lot to us, and perhaps didn't get as much in return ultimately.
