When you are the new kid on the block, the new employee at the job or just the new face in the place, everybody loves you, do they not? They are all glad you came. Everybody wants to know your name. Its as if a new baby has come into the world. All bright eye'd and full of hope and dreams to make everything better! Something invariable happens along the way (Earth-Wind and Fire). Do the masses no longer enjoy his new car smell of said new person? Are they no longer interesting to others? Or could it just be that "U ain't NEW no more?????
I say that because the new person can make a mistake and be forgiven many times, but the old or established person gets a tongue lashing for an unintentional error in judgment after years of work. I have come to reason that a person who made has made a mistake, hass often times done this due to trying to do something better or faster for everyone. I believe we should consider giving the person a pass, if they can explain their actions otherwise logically, that person's creativity could be stifled otherwise.
I read an article in which Eddie Murphy was asked why did he do so many sucky movies when he could have stayed with the Beverly Hills Cop theme a few more times? Eddie replied " In Hollywood, you are born once and die a 1,000 times". He said he was prasised for 48 hours and Beverly Hills Cop, but treated like a leper for movies like Pluto Nash and I am Dave. Dude wasn't afraid to try something new, but the world doesn't like change. But he felt the need to be true to be true to himself. He got no props for Norbit (a move that he played several characters that you would actually forget is him) and it was Oscar worthy in my views but who am I????
Seems like that in relationships too. When you first meet, its infatuation, but fast 4 ward 3 years later and you may see that same couple on an episode of snapped!!!! Nothing changes unless something changes.
We, as a people, should stop judging people on their past and accepting them for their present. Just because we did something in 2004 doesn't mean I still feel that way or even like those same things. Take me for example. I don't believe in fighting in wars, but that in no way indicates that I don't love the people who participate in them. If I like putting loud speakers and rimz on my car in my 20's does mean I feel that way in my 40's. We grow and try more things and learn things at our own pace.
My simple point is this: I don't know how long anyone has on this Earth, but I do know the day of my impending death is closer than the day of my birth. So why not get along with others (at least try) accept that others evolve and go with the changes that life brings us.If you look at the pic on this blog closely, you may ask your self, Did this man's views of life and others stay the same from a child to manhood? Did his views on issues every change and should he be allowed to have had a past -and still have wonder future nonetheless?
