lol..well..it's not that i don't want to be Any person's true friend. i can count my own true freinds on one hand. a lot of people have friends..many...but would those friends be there in the most dire of situations? now..add fame...
if MJ was walking down the street and was not famous, how many people would be his true friend? that's an unanswereable question, i know..but..
all i'm saying is..in a world where it seems easier to hate than to love, it's easy to be cynical. i say i would question my own motives, not because i would feel good if i took advantage of him, but because, it's just wise to realize that temptation is more powerful than us all. and if a person is thinking twice about their motives, it should be regarded as a good thing.
there are so many people who go into and out of relationships, friendships, etc, without fame that make promises, and break them. how much more, with fame? yes, there are exceptions..and i hope exceptions keep coming.
i really don't want MJ to be a lonely person. i pray he has a true true friend..at least 1. or more. famous or not. at the same time...i don't want to see him taken advantage of. it's just my humble opinion, but man in the mirror resonates here. before we go and venture into something, we should look in the mirror and make sure we're doing it right, and not think, so easily that we can overcome any temptation, that might make us trip up. how many times does a person make a promise, then an unforseen circumstance comes up, and makes a person rethink things? it just gives us the better chance not to trip up, if we look in the mirror and check ourselves first. that's just IMHO. it is clear that his fanbase has been his true freind from afar, as they have outlasted the media. when coming up close, you may see things that you never thought you would see. as is the case with everybody. everybody, i think, is their own best freind when it comes to accepting the unseen things. so how would you be, up close, with someone else? that's when you ask yourself..can i truly promise to be the true definition of a true friend? always?
i would rather be his friend from afar, than screw up his life, upclose.
i certainly hope i could be his best friend. i would hope i could try..and my guess is..so would others. i would hope that if i messed up the opportunity, that i would pay the price for it. i would hope that my conscience, and my capacity for guilt would enable me to do it right. because, fame or no fame..i wouldn't want to be done in, that way, by someone else.
