Other People's Insight Upon Me-you-stuff:
OPIUM

what is it about other people's lives that intrigue us? i walk past newstands daily and see People Magazine, Us, National Inquirer, amongst other publications that not only specialize but only write up stories and articles on people. our television shows are another fine indication of our love of the lifestyles of others.
gossip. ever heard of that? another social mechanism that indicates our desire...daresay, need?...to talk, whisper, and share everything we know and think about others.
i'm sure any psychologist would shed light on the matter to highlight that we talk about others to know we are not alone or that we are heavily dulled by our own lives. either way, that's just how we are.

ever been married? in a committed relationship? seen each other on and off? gone on a date? looked at someone? well, people are gonna talk.
that's all there is to it. and it's okay! family and friends are always concerned about their family and friends and will always have an opinion on such matters. and we love our loved ones, oh so much we do. and the very things they say to us mean as much as they'd want it to.
so what do we do when friends, family, and self have varied views and responses?
my answer?
i dunno.
at some point, one has to wonder what our friends' and family's intentions are. and one has to wonder what they understand - not to mention what we let them understand.
it's an interesting thing. i myself am such a person to comment on other's lives and/or their relations with significant others. so why do we have such an interest? do we really feel that alone? is it a vicarious notion? does this entry have a point?

we apologize for having not written for so long...out hotmail account got wiped out so we apologize to those we did not get a chance to respond to...cheers to those who have supported us!
