THE ART OF DECEPTION

 
By now you would have guessed that this entry will be about make up. Personally I am not a fan of make up. I have never owned more than a lip gloss and never understood it being a necessity. However for some females it is a way of life. Even though I don't use make up a lot of my acquaintances do I therefore have a little knowledge about the makeup culture. It has been a normal part of our society but in recent times the users seem to have taken it a step too far. 
 

The reason many people have for using makeup is generally the same, they have bumps and spots that they would rather hide. Which i guess is understandable , but from a medical stand point if you are having an issue with the health of your skin how will putting on 3-4 layers of chemicals help the situation?  It seems to be a cycle for some people , they wear the makeup to hide bumps the makeup causes more breakouts so they end up wearing more make up to hide these new bumps and so on. maybe a different solution should be considered. 

Most females wear a reasonable amount of makeup to compliment the features they already have when going out to help them feel more confident and comfortable. We all do that we shave our eyebrows and cream our hair in an effort to make ourselves look better.
 

 The problem arises when females use make up to create entirely new features. 
 


I have seen too many makeup tutorials that shows a person putting on makeup for over an hour , using the makeup to change every feature that can be tampered with. How low does yourself esteem have to be for you to preffer to change everything about the way you look before you go out in public? and how much different is it from the people who bleach their skins because they are not happy with the way they look?
 
The makeup is normally accompanied by hair extensions and some females even wear coloured contacts. There is no other word for this than fake. How can you trust a person that lies to you about the way they look. What else about them is fake? These are the same females who will get on social networks and make fun of people in fake brands etc. How can you look down on somebody for fake brands when your entire appearance is a made up fake drawing ?





There is also the issue of the people who just seem to dip their face in the makeup bag with no idea of what they are doing, leaving us all to suffer through this sight. Also the makeup doesn't seem to hold up for very long and as soon as these females reach their destination they have started to sweat off/ under the makeup leaving them with a white shiny appearance which defeats the purpose of the makeup in the 1st place. They have to be running to the bathroom every 5 minutes to keep looking presentable.

Men have been complaining about this new makeup era and seem to not be in support of the practice. However based on my observations if there is a social gathering the men present seem to be more inclined to approach the females with the 7 layers of makeup and 9 packs of fake hair. Yet they come on social networks to complain. Women would do be drawing on faces if it did not get them the attention they wanted from men.  I often wonder about how they reveal their actual identity to the persons they get into relationships with. that must be an interesting conversation "no i don't actually have any eyebrows i just drew those for the party last night".


Maybe we are heading towards the age of the fake, where in public are perfectly put together females with the perfect hair and body they go home and peel off their mask each day. There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping up appearances , but they to keep up the appearance you actually have instead of creating one each time you go out that way if you go missing people around you will actually know who to look for . http://www.whydontyoutrythis.com/2013/10/37-seconds-to-see-why-we-have-an-absolutely-ridiculous-standard-of-beauty.html for your viewing pleasures.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Let’s have a moment of silence for our world and life as we know it. With each day we move further away from the life we have grown accustomed to, further away from the morals and values we hold dear, further away from our rights and our safety.  We are down on a downward spiral to a world filled with chaos.

Over the past few weeks I have come across so many new reports, articles, interviews and things I have observed that has left me convinced that the world has lost its mind.  Not only are we imposing laws that give gun owners the right to kill 1^st and investigate later but we have also become obsessed with sex. This leads to a man shooting a teenage girl in his yard and leaving her there to die because his actions are protected by law and rape clubs that aren’t frowned upon by many members of the society. 

What kind of world are we living in where teenage boys lure girls into cars or spike their drinks rape these girls video it and have a facebook page dedicated to it and are classed as “good guys” and no legal action taken against them?  You might not be directly affected by this right now but how long will it be before this kind of behavior spills over into your society? 

Our children are being violated on a surprising scale and there seems to be no effective measures to protect them. From a very young age they are being bombarded by sex. There is nothing wrong with educating the children but I see no reason why my 9 year old should get an extensive lecture on how it’s ok to be sexually attracted to people of the same/opposite sex. The more you talk about something the more popular it becomes if every avenue of their lives are filled with sexual references the end result will be sexually active 10 year olds. There are movements trying to help our children chose abstinence but at the same time we are distributing condoms.
 

The people in our society that are supposed to be protecting our children are the same ones that are taking advantage of them. How can you rationalize listing pedophilia as a sexual orientation? This alone is evidence enough to show that the world has indeed lost its mind.

We live in a world where nothing is too taboo. We are so caught up in tolerance and freedom of expression that in a few years it will be the norm for humans to be in sexual relationships with animals, walk around naked and be cannibals. We who are still functioning properly and can spot the stupidity of the world we live in will soon be outcast and we will be forced to teach our children everything we know is wrong or face consequences.

I don’t wish to experience a society where it’s a free for all. Where people are allowed to do whatever they see fitting and we sit around to hear them justify it and then are forced to tolerate it. Many people feel they are having their human rights violated by a society governed by rules and stereotypes. Therefore the way forward might be to emphasize ethics rather than rules. Hopefully we can resolve this before we reach a freedom endued apocalypse.

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

Food is a very important part of my life. What im going to eat next is always in the back of my mind. Therefore I end up having several conversations about food daily. since recently I have decided to take a healthier approach and it got me thinking about the change in diet over the years and hw just like everything else food has evolved. 

Growing up I was virtually indestructible, and many of you might share this same view on your childhood. Playing outside and not being under constant supervision from our parents we had many opportunities to eat something that was less than suitable for eating, however there were hardly any consequences.  I attribute this to the diet I had as a child. Snacks weren’t deep fried and dipped in chocolate. It was common place to drink water every day. The products used were naturally grown and needless to say an obese child was a rarity.  

 

The older population was also generally healthier. Diabetes, obesity  and hypertension were not as common as they are today and were ‘old people’ illnesses.   Colon cancer was so rare that hospitals had 2-3 reported cases per year.

But as time progressed the food available changed and so did the general health of the population. Babies are being born with diabetes. 3 year old children having strokes and  we have little or no resistance to viruses.  For many of us if we drink some water from the pipe without boiling it we will feel the effects for days (while our grandparents grew up using rain filled  tank water and were perfectly fine).

We have diverted from the naturally grown provisions that provided us with authentic nutrients to genetically grown food that are ready for harvesting 3 weeks after planting.  Water is no longer used to wash ground provisions, instead most producers use chemical peels.  

Fast food has replaced home cooked meals and the microwave the main means of ‘cooking’ for many of my peers. I will not bore you with my opinion on how safe microwaves are but for your reading pleasures http://www.snopes.com/science/microwave/plants.asp make your own conclusions.

Too many things have been almost completely eliminated from our diet. When was the last time you has soursop juice, naturally made carrot juice or even a cucumber?  All of these being things with surprising health benefits. Instead we chose sodas and kool aid as our preferred source of hydration.

Colon cancer is just as prevalent  as obesity the reason for which is thought to be as simple as not eating enough fruits. Cancers are developing in places people didn’t even know they had. Mint tea is no longer taken from the backyard instead we buy a pack from the store that has added chemicals such as cafeen

We have an older population due to the fact that older people have a longer life expectancy than younger ones because of our diet. What we have become accustomed to eating are more  We are living in a very unhealthy world. And even though a healthier lifestyle may be more expensive and time consuming isn’t a long healthy life worth it? “health is the most important factor for each one of us to live a happy and fulfilling life. Without our health, we lose the freedom to fulfill our potential”
