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?“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” -Dr. Seuss

Too Personal????
