Ok.. The title is taken directly from a blog (Not the last part) of a Taiwanese actress...
Yep, got inspired with one of her recent post...
Sometimes because we want to protect our friends, sometimes because of our family, sometimes because of the things around us, we choose to remain silent. Thats because we know, even if we said it out, it will be useless. And when you said it out, the media will take it in different views and said out two completely different stories, even if it supposedly are completely the same. In the end, what will be discussed most are just the harsh and cruel comments from the society. So why must we reveal our privacy to the media? Why can't we have any privacy? Why aren't there anyone who can mitigate this loopholes in the society?
The above paragraph are translated from her entry.
Well, seriously, I had always hated about the gossips and news that will affect their reputation. But in times, I can't help but to read it, and in the end, believing it, and cause me to leave a scar in my opinion of them. I believe many people are also guilty of it isn't it?
Anyway, after reading that entry, I had seriously agreed on the fact that the society CAN BE so, and IS so unreal...
Recently, I had a chat with my mum, regarding a magazine article about the news we often see now. It is especially so, and is especially obvious in newspapers, and even more so in Mandarin newspaper. The magazine article stated the major differences between the news from the past to the news we see now. Did you see the trend that the news, or media, are turning itself into an alternative source for us to vent our anger on, for us to fill up with more and more gossips and try our lucks with all sorts of number combination to gamble on, for us to complain whatever whichever we can, for even if its just a person flipping through the newspaper loudly in the train station or even simply coughing in the bus without your hand covering your mouth?
In addition, did you realise that the news, especially entertainment news, are seriously losing its purpose? Just like the actress blogger mentioned, the news now are always eating into their privacy, and always writing those non-relevant news. If you ask me to, I can easily find a very good example. During the period when Fatty (A HongKong actress, Shen Dian Xia) was constantly getting in and out of hospital, the media was constantly throwing out news of her isn't it? However, the news are hardly anything that is of good. You can almost see at least a half page long section filled with pictures, and four digit numbers that always seem to bring a good fortune to themselves everyday. The death of her had eventually become something for people to place a bet on, in hope of getting rich. When she was sick at home, reporters were seen crowding around her, trying to catch the most miserable picture of her in her hardest time, and showing their skills of taking such pathetic pictures to the public. Somehow, not only does those do not provide me with what supposed to be reported, it only seems to provide me information that the society is mixed with selfish money-faced people who will only cares about themselves, as well as black hearted people who will take others misfortune as a source of entertainment for themselves.
Not to mention about the media, even in our own life, do you agree that the society is so unreal now? Even we ourselves are losing our privacy. What happens if you find yourself in the newspaper the next day with pictures of you changing your clothes in the washroom? A big smile from a close friend if yours can turn into a evil snare that is ready to bite your head off the very next day.
Well... The actress blogger I mentioned is 王瞳.
Her entry, and what I had read, and talked about, sets me thinking... ... ...
