I feel a strong urge to speak to the matter of Michael Jackson's death today. The uncanny thing about this is?...I have struggled with the need to blog, but not feeling any urge to do so, thinking I didn't have anything worthy to share...things are ok, I'm progressing in baby steps; however, I have to now speak to the passing of Michael.
Before I do so, can I also share of my saddness of the passing of Farrah Fawcett...she was Charlie's Angel, however, she was also a woman who rose to the challenge of cancer...if you saw her documentary you would understand that in her dying, she became who she is inside. She struggled, was humble, grateful, and she yearned to die of something other than cancer. RIP Farrah.
The thing that scares me is the fact that an icon died today. We, the public, will have to rehash the crap of his life...the stuff that he was exonerated of...yet, the public still judges, and that's just not right. God judges, and only God judges. How dare we, as individuals, within our own value system, feel the right to judge this man. There are always two sides of the story, but a phrase from a John Mayer song comes to mind.....'cause when they own the information...Oh, they can bend it all they want"...since the penny papers the editors of any major newspaper could and have bended it all they want.
I admit, I have been shaken by the attacks on his life...and because I'm just one of those little people, I sometimes wonder why, why, this man has been the butt of our jokes. I'm sad, because, this man, will be judged, probed, exonerated (God given) and a spectacle of what our society has become. And the thing that scares me most?...can we, as children of God, say this man is guilty? I don't know about you, but I'm gonna side with God.
