Why do people need any attention even if bad?

It does not make sense to me the constant craving some people have for attention. Sorry you were not hugged enough as a child BUT the wrong kinda attention is not healthy. No need to sexualize yourself and be cheap and slutty for attention. That is not substance and if that is the ONLY reason someone gives you attention then you are in for a world of hurt.  Also in reality...I dont care who you are. Unless you did something heroic, selfless and righteous, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING!

Being Real with Daughter

So I try to be honest and real with my daughter to her discontent. She does stupid stuff like a snap chat pictures every 5 seconds which will so backfire on her over time. So I asked her to not do in front of me or when I am around. I dont want to be reminded of this absurdity so I rather not be constantly reminded. Todays Gen seems to need constant affirmation from peers but they don't think of the security implications. For the record she is 17 starting university in the fall. Today in order to hurt and manipulate…

Is it me or is the world becoming darker?

Got me thinking today that the world appears to be getting darker and people are getting colder. Seems many of us have not realized that our actions affect everything else no matter how small we feel at times. Do the world powers not realize that 'they' will not be saved in the extreme of trying to get rid of everyone else? The 'after life' that so many people put stock into MAY NOT be what the advertisement sold you. Maybe be kind and generous in this life (just in case)?
