Is anybody for real... authentic...Is Monica's Breakup, a publicity stunt?

I have to say that I'm just finished with wanting people to be what I think they ought to be, my error! I used to get really frustrated with people not being authentic and having integrity. I'm still caught off-guard with people and their actions that clearly depict a person in caos, who's self-sabotaging. I live in a big city, Chicago and it's cold here, not always just the winter weather, but the people can be because it's historically, a segregated city with pockets of diversity. It creates alienation and elitism...bottom line, separation and feeling less than for many. You can't be your authentic self looking down on others or shrinking because of your material net worth.

 As I read the blogs and see singer Monica is going through a break-up and some people saying it's a publicity stunt or the unkind words and thoughts thrown her way is disturbing. There seems to be a lack of compassion and empathy in this world. In my everyday life and travels, I see it in people, how cold they are and the anger. Either people are overly-ambitious and will stop at nothing to get what they want or others are hating the world because they're not pursuing their dreams or feel it's hopeless to even try and hate others who think differently! So we wear masks to conceal our real idenity and intent and the internet is an outlet for us simply be ourselves.

Wyclef is on the internet again, this it's about an allege mistress that his YELE organization paid $100,000 to perform as Program Director, it's disheartening if it's true!  Where's the integrity? In our everyday lives, where's the integrity, even when no one is looking? It's easier to be honest with ourselves in the long run because the emptiness of lies and deception catches up with us and our ill-actions haunt us, even while the sun is shining down on us. With pop culture governing our lives, reality TV, instant celebrity status for just about anyone, YouTube singing sensations, music that doesn't say much and allows sex to sell it, all of it isn't bad, but not much of it is good either!

More of us have to find a way to be honest, authentic, true people! We must celebrate character and the ability to tell the truth and award kindness, not just Forbes wealthiest people in the world and our celebrities. Allow the driver to pass who's sitting in traffic, open the door and allow the other person to go through first, permit the person talking to finish their sentence and thought, don't be afraid to accept help and express gratitude, learn to receive and not just take, put aside private agendas and do the right thing more times than not, believe there's enough for everyone, be wise, but be kind and generous on a multitude of levels!
