Facebook's a myriad colors of my childhood. A walk down memory lane is welcomed anytime.
Like a picture which could paint a thousand words, a cartoon would probably have enough words to be compiled into a novel. The snippets of quotes from our cartoons stay with us as we age. And them adults say tv is pointless. Let's take spongebob as an example, it's a satirical view of the modern society layered with sweet humor. It shows the life of Spongebob who's a deviant from the norm of society. Even underwater, where the species defies the definition of normal in so many levels, spongebob is weirder i that's even possible. But this alienation from society doesn't stop him from being happy. In fact, he's the happiest person in bikini bottom, underwater.. heck that the happiest fictitious person ever lived.. besides Barney. Ew. I just said the B word. ew. ew. (muntah sekejap)
Teenagers these days are too caught up in the vicious pyramidal structure of the local scene. The last thing they would ever want to do is stand out or even worse being embarrassed. But what's a little dignity loss for priceless happiness? Loosen up a little teens. We're all fighting the same battle. Don't lose yourself because you will when you try to be someone you aren't.
thanks spongebob, powerpuff girls, fairly oddparents whom had been there to help me get through childhood with a great big smile on my face. And I hope the campaign against violence on children will raise enough awareness to put a halt to all of these villains preventing the growth o their wings, their cape, their superpowers, of our little ones.
Sincere Love,
Siti Mahirah.
