Why Do We Associate Ourselves With Prehistoric People?

Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US President Barack Obama that he flat-out does not want peace with Palestine.

What makes us our nationality...American, Israeli, English, French, Indian, Chinese? How do we become this definition?

At birth we hardly know what is going on around us let alone who our parents are. Over time most of us are exposed to people that look like me (i.e family members). Yet when the first day of school comes along...there are suddenly many different people. They sound different, their color is different, their bodily feature might be completely different to what we are accustomed to know.

For those that live in the Westernized global world...we are interpreted by our skin. Our skin is a dead give away as to who we are and how other WILL and have to see us.

Those who have struggled for the right to have an individual status. It might not happen for a while or ever happen. Why? Since the dawn of our ancestors we were forced to move and stay in groups. Later we identified ourselves according to groups and eventually we would distinguish ourselves from others. Some of us felt superior other were made to feel inferior.

Why should we burden ourselves with nationality, race or religion? Will that define our offspring and generations to come? I would like to think not.

Netanyahu, Musharaf, Bin-Laden, Singh, Elizabeth II are carrying a burden that is not necessary. At birth they did not know they were royalty, Muslim (or their religious affiliate), Jewish (and exiled from that land for over 2000 years.

It is futile to still associate ourselves with peoples of the past. Many culture that thrived independently throughout the past times suffered some backlash and were absorbed into another successful culture.

Point, we need to be ourselves and know who we are. Take the time to introspect and write down your own self-constitution and decide how to govern yourself and how to interact with the others around you, using your own foreign policy.

The Suffering Of Generation -Y.

With the crash of '08 many kids were consumed by rich materialistic culture the first decade of the twenty-first century provided.
It was a lie! The illusion of the credit life. Today, in 2011, many are seeing their celebrity role models splashing cash on a variety of items that were once accessible to many. Those-who's parents-managed to survive '08 are feeling more elitist than ever.
What about those who lost it all? What now? How do they recover?

Regrets and outrage! Surely many grew angry against their parents and entire family relationships were and still are wrecked due to '08.

Since, this is a material capitalistic world. The rich are and will always become richer because the money buffer is already in place.
But those that built what they had on credit and did not save...
LOST IT ALL!

Unfortunately, you were one of them!

Is your dream to become a famous athlete, actor, singer, reality TV star? For the latter, you need not have any talent to organize that. Make a sex tape, some of you are thinking?

What about family dignity. Do you want to base you entire existence on the public watching you orgasm?

The anger of seeing other's success is too deep. The wound of what if are still bleeding and the blood has not clotted yet.

Yet, one has to do whatever they have to, to survive. Give it your best shot at becoming famous...just know the consequences. When you do get there. The power of controlling your adversaries is the greatest feeling the world.
But beware and be aware of the unknown....

THE NEW SOCIAL ROYALS.

The Queen has relinquished her social throne. After a twenty-five year reign, Her Majesty Queen Oprah, will no long be with those she reached-out-to for so long. Let it be known that she has a contender that has immediate on 26 May 2011 taken her seat on the throne.

The new woman is Lady Gagga and I am sure both men and woman are intrigued by the new queen. She rightfully deserves her place for pushing boundaries that you would only expect the Jetsons to see.

But who will take the other seat next to her? HRH Lady Gagga is there but whom till take the title of King....

Possible contenders could be Charlie Sheen-he's a self-defined "winner" and will drink "tiger blood". He's however, still to boring. The other possibility in mind is Jared Letto. The eye-shadow and bisexuality is a bit taboo...but rock-stars have been doing that for as long as your grand-mother still too boring.

Enter our Princes from the house of Justin-will it be Timberlake or Beiber? Neither! Timberlake has passed his sell-by date and I'm sure has been ushered off Main-Spotlight street by now - he could not even secure his namesake-The Beiber.

He is huge in a tiny body-at seventeen he done and achieved more than your or you kid has done. But you can still feel good about yourself. Beiber is probably losing or has lost his virginity to Selena Gomez and freaking out that she has lost her’s too.

But the bloody battle still continues. Beiber cannot take the throne! He can lead women but not me...he's still discovering himself with Gomez, no doubt and does not know who he truly is yet.

Drake, I think should take the Crown Prince crown. He's influenced how men approach and view women. Young men are worshiping the man...but not everyone can relate to him. One can only wish they could.

This rich boy from a foresty suburb in Toronto cannot understand those that lived in poverty and are working their way up.

His friend however, the rebellious Lord Lil'Wayne could. Tattoos on the face, that excruciating voice and his rock/hip-hop mix could appeal to most of the masses but not the masses.

Let's face it Lord Lil'Wayne...no one want to put a tattoo on their face unless they were a gang leader from prison who sees no hope in his life.

Who will be the new "man"? The title of the social king died with His Majesty King Michael Jackson...but now there are many vying for the position.
There are too many Crown Princes but no one want to push that boundary to become king.

They are all afraid to be king and the Queen is kicking ass. Undoubtedly the twenty-first century will be defined by the embodiment school of thought and Lady Gagga is eons ahead probably setting the bench mark for 2050.

People have shied away from the conservative society of the eighties. The nineties were the transition point. The two-thousands discovered new recipes-the king of the mid-decade was fifty but he had since been on his ninth life.

It will be intriguing who will define the masculinity along with Gaga as the embodiment school of though dawns.

Who will the the next King...?
