Too Personal????


I’d like to start off by informing you of the fact that biographical writings have never been of any interest to me. Although my views may be skewed because of this, I’ll try not to make this blog completely crammed with personal opinion. From a logical point of view, I've never understood why anyone who is alive would allow a stranger to march into their home and write about everything and anything they do. Viewing the human race as a whole, you’d assume that 99.9% of people would find that extraordinarily awkward. Even in the case of a publicity craving (like many celebs out there today..*cough* Jersey Shore) allowing someone from the media into your personal life often leaves the public with a not so good opinion about you.   More often than not, these press writers, etc. find the most controversial information they can then they display it for everyone to see. First off, I think that’s morally incorrect, so shame on them. But why? Why would you want everyone up in your business? I believe privacy is one of the elements of life that keeps us sane.  I feel like there should be some kind of boundary when it comes to authors and biographies on the living. I don’t think people living in the high light should allow it and I don’t think author’s should be trusted as much as they are. Look at what happened to Petraeus. Is it really worth it?
