Good People

I was listening to Jack Johnsons song Good people and it really got me thinking. He says "where'd all the good people go? I've been changing channels I don't see them on the TV shows" This is so true that it was all I could think about all week. We live in this society where your morals don't matter anymore. All that seems to matter is your image and reputation. It is a lot harder to find the true and genuine people anymore. The media keeps telling us girls that you need to be pretty, skinny, and rich to have a great life. Like Jack says when he is talking about not seeing them on the TV shows, there are shows like Jersey Shore where the people are just trashy and all they care about is partying and appearance. Why would we want our generation and generation to come to watch this type of stuff? We need true role models in our lives. Not the ones we see on television. The media is telling us to live in a materialistic world instead of focusing on what's real. Appearances wont last forever, but your character will. We all need to just take a step back and try to be a good person by gods standards, not society's. All I want people to get from this is are you truly a good person that tries to brightens everybody's day, or are you the person who is just thinking all day if you picked the right outfit or if your hair looks good. I know people won't read this, but I decided to blog about it because it is important to me and has been on my mind all week. But the song is really good and you should definitely check it out.
