Michael Jackson + Farrah Fawcett Die

Filed under: Uncategorized — markps2 @ 1:05 PM

Love:

Farrah

“Kate Jackson said she would remember Fawcett’s “kindness, her cutting, dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile. Today when you think of Farrah remember her smiling because that is exactly how she wanted to be remembered, smiling.”

Fawcett became a sensation in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in “Charlie’s Angels.” A poster of her in a clingy, red swimsuit sold in the millions and her full, layered hairstyle became all the rage, with girls and women across America mimicking the look.”

Michael

“I really like watching how Michael Jackson moves and sings. He was a real born POP STAR. He will surely be missed all through out the world. He was a legend. RIP.”
–Agnes, Papua New Guinea

Cynical :

“Two more tiny bubbles of celebrity burst. Two people whom I never met have passed, and all around me, I’m watching folks mourn.”

To live, you must suffer. It is impossible to live without experiencing some kind of suffering. We have to endure physical suffering like sickness, injury, tiredness, old age and eventually death and we have to endure psychological suffering like loneliness, frustrations, fear, embarrassment, disappointment, anger, etc.”

The reason children are happy I believe is they are largely innocent of the knowledge of the horror of life.

As we became adults the laughter and enjoyment one has, severely declines. People liked Michael Jackson + Farrah Fawcett for the good times they once had with the performers, good times that are now elusive and harder to come across, the older we get.

Life is work. Emotional, Physical, Social, Spiritual, Intellectual.
Work to find and cook food. Work to pay for our house. Work to  find a mate. Work to keep in our families graces. Etc-era.

An entertainer is to help people enjoy life, life of beyond bare sustenance existence.

Michael Jacksons work did that, Farrah Fawcetts also.

They added to the enjoyment of the world .

Cynics that say their death is no less important than an unknown starving childs, is true, but we don’t know that starving child, and that innocent starving child is in another country. Her/his death is not our direct responsibility. It is a crazy and cruel world, hard to find good things to enjoy in it amongst the war, famine, disease and pestilence.

Entertainers even if too vain are better than the four horsemen.
