Humiliation

Okay so I'm sure I've recently mentioned the fact that we often pay attention to stupid little things such as articles like "So and So fell OMG, the world is about to end" but the other major factor I haven't brought up yet is pictures.

I'm sure all of us have seen pictures of us posted on social media that we aren't particularly "fond" of, or that we are embarrassed of. What about celebrities though? Imagine having people follow you around everywhere you go, people must have plenty of embarrassing pictures of them that would humiliate them, and they do. We all can admit to seeing at least one picture of some significant person plastered on the front page of a magazine and have thought "Wow, if that were me, I would be so humiliated" and I'm sure each and every time, every last one of them, are.

Often times we tend to think past the fact that these are people just like us and think just like us. Instead however, we think of which ones will grab more peoples attention and make them read the article more, which is sick. Okay, sure when artists or actors sign up to be what they are, they are warned or should assume these things are going to happen, but that doesn't justify it, right? Then in turn,, we just expect them to see it and brush it off, write a song if they are so about it, whats the big deal?

I want you to, just for a second, imagine the worst picture you have ever seen of yourself, got it? Okay, now imagine that that is plastered on a front page of a very popular and well read magazine by millions of people, and there is no way to undo the damage because it is already there. And the worst part? You didn't even know this was going to happen! So you sit back, and read the article, in tears, and are forced to face reality, and move on. Your expected to just not care! Over the next couple days some people will pass it, not caring, and some will laugh, show their friends, but it isn't supposed to affect you because ITS JUST A PICTURE, bull, right?

We don't care, it's just a picture in a magazine that we might get a good laugh out of and might earn someone a couple thousand dollar for catching it, but we are all human. Wouldn't it hurt you?
