The Moderate Voice: Michael Jackson: A Local Icon Across Asia

  • Silhouette · 5 months ago
    Michael Jackson was clearly suffering from mental illness. He was rich and talented too. We don't know why Van Gough cut off his ear. We don't know why Jackson cut off his nose. All we know is that people who do this stuff to get the attention of other people are suffering mentally.

    I saw a picture of how Jackson looked when younger. His dark beautiful skin, full healthy nose and normal God-given facial structure were stunning. The pressures of daddy and fame convinced him to mutilate himself to look like a pretty white girl. Maybe that's what daddy always wanted to "love" so Jackson thought he could finally get that love by imitation? I don't know.

    All I know is that the entire Jackson family seems just friggin addicted to fame and surficial BS to the point of insanity. Michael was the visible extreme of what they all suffer from. IMHO. MIchael Jackson's death didn't come as a blow to me since the few times I actually thought about him I thought that he died at about age 8 anyway and all that was left of that child was a cardboard cutout automatron of what his father resurrected from the dead horse he'd beaten. The body passing long after the soul had really truly was just a relief.

    Rest in peace and let him be a lesson to all of us.
