"Nice dalmatian shirt," says the boy that sits across
from me in lab, with a smirk on his face.
I reply calmly,
"Thanks, I know, it's pretty classy."
It was from his
remark that made me wonder why people are so concerned with others style and
fashion choices, but even on a broader spectrum, with other people in general.
People go through life every day judging others and trying to dictate their
lives. But why? Why is it so important that everyone have their input on what
other people do? If it doesn’t directly affect you, than leave it alone. Yet I
feel people make it a duty to be concerned with others but only to make them
feel small. What happened to the age old saying, if you have nothing nice to
say, don’t say anything at all…well, except in art class. Critique is essential!
Well said, Neesie. I couldn't agree more. You bring up an interesting point in the realm of self-portraiture - others view us through their own experiences, not necessarily what we present to them. It would be a good discussion to have in class.
