Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

I believe a lot of people have blog about the death of our very own King of Pop. Well, so I won't blog about how he died and how much he has contribute to the entertainment world.. But I would just like to share with you the Golden lesson that we can learn from the life of MJ..

Last time, whenever we hear about MJ, we would laugh and joke about him and his nose and how he would melt when he is hot..
There's even a joke where this kid ask his mum,
Boy : Mum, is God a man or woman??
Mum : Nope.. God is not man nor woman..
Boy : Hmm.. then is God black or white??
Mum : Son, God is not black nor white either..
Boy : Then is God Michael Jackson?!?

Thou we all always laugh at him, did you all realize that what kind of life did Michael Jackson lived?! The King of Pop just could not accept who he really was.. in another words, he could not accept HIMSELF.. He could not accept that he was bore a black.. Lets look at this picture of MJ before he went through any plastic surgery..

There was indeed a dramatical change in his looks..

Lets look at the lyrics of the song 'Black or White' that he sang
It don't matter if you're

It don't matter if you're
Black or white.

and

See, it's not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
I've seen the bright
Get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color

He said it doesn't matter, but why did it end up affecting him?! Thou we know, that the people in the pass, always see white as pure.. When I say angel, what colour would you imagine an angel to be?! White.. And when I say Evil, you would straight away imagine Black.. Now, who ever told you that white is pure and black is evil?!

The lesson to learn from the life of MJ is, we got to accept who we really are.. Do not change or try to be somebody else.. Just be yourself and stay the same.. As Martin Jalil says, Don't change, unless you're changing for the better.. Bcos if you don't love yourselve, then how can you ever love others?!

The media world will always influence us in many ways to look "perfect". But hey, everybody will grow old one day.. If someone loves you for how you look, what happens when everything start sagging downwards?! haha.. is he/she still gonna love you then?!

Finally, I leave you with a quote from Martin,

Don't change,
unless you're changing for the better..
