Understanding Women: Post Scriptum.

Here’s a shocker, The media (movies, music, news, ads, alien-attacked cornfields, magazines, etc) is nothing but the reflection of the current state of society. A slightly blurred or probably too sharp picture of collective thinking.

Here’s the problem: we don’t really pay attention to the subtleties behind each message. We’re not cynical enough towards the information we’re given but we also happen to be not as smart as we believe.

Why start a post about women speaking about society, you say? Easy. Without women, there would be no such thing as the slightly fucked up society we enjoy today. That’s a fact.

Now, back to the reflection of society: the media. If you look up to magazines like Cosmo, Marie Claire, you name it, you’ll notice that in their pages, besides aggressive marketing, there are articles that women look up to. For all the “right” reasons too, one of them being self-improvement. This applies to men too.

Now, from self improvement, I could take this extended text message (I’m typing this on my blackberry) in one of two directions: Forming part of society (and then I would have to leave this as a draft on my phone) or finding a mate. And, frankly, I’d rather head in the latter direction. Even if it involves society in general too (No mating, no births. No births, no society).

The whole concept of self-improvement is something that has intrigued me for quite the bit now. It involves one’s ego, it involves one’s self-portrait, but, it also includes how, who and why we want to be.
And its that most of the time, who one is at the moment, doesn’t necessarily fit with what one wants to achieve.
