well. I just wanted to write before I study. (whe...study? yeah, right) so here goes...
I wonder why people are more interested in other people's lives. like most people are interested in Pinoy Big Brother or other reality shows, or in gossip columns, or in shows like "the Buzz" or "Entertainment Central" and the like. Perhaps human beings are just sympathetic individuals(er...tama ba?). Or perhaps they just have all the time in the world to assess other people. Either ways, I just wonder why.
These shows, even if they are reality shows, or articles based on "sources" do not guarantee 100% truths, right? Why? because we interpret stuff differently. So, why do people flock to hear other people's lives, when they have their own messed up life?
I think it is because a story is more interesting than a truth. In most instances, our own life is the only real story that we know because we own it; we live in it. Except, of course, in the case of amnesia, or such disorders.
Is it that our lives are boring that we crave for something different? That we are eager to sacrifice a story (tragedic or comedic) than to face the cold truths? Are we afraid of our own lives? Of what it might bring?
A story is like a fabric, you can decorate it, you can cut it, you can do alterations in it, and make it all look pretty to you. And you can wear it to conceal the truth,because it is more intricate than a cemented mural. People won't notice the cemented mural, though it depicts death, blood, tears or joy, laughter and cheers. they won't take a second look, when they see the fabric that you've woven. So...
Why, bother?

I think its bcoz some people are just sick of living their monotonous, boring lives..
it's all beacuse people just find monotony boring. or some feel that their life is not as fulfilling as it could be. so they enter other people's lives. both fictional and real people. Anime lovers like me like anime because we want the power in anime. the skill in sports and whatnot. Xab. I guess you already know who I am.
