Re: Photogenicism vs sadness
As a simple answer, you get to know the person instead of looking at what he/she shows. If someone has a crappy life quality and always keeps the smile up, there's something strange (or he/she believes really strongly in something related to it and is actually happy with it).

Interesting, very interesting this answer is.
So distanced yet passionate.
Interest yet disinterest. Performative. Hiding.
Are you a candle in the wind, my friend?

Is it bad that I don't understand the meaning of this post?

Literary devices that are contradictory, usually to induce a feeling of well - whatever you feel I suppose.
Re: Photogenicism vs sadness
I use contractions the similar way when I play FM. One of my favorite quotes is from Anne Rice;
Quote:
The huge black hulk of a carriage brushed the vines
And then the light grew weak
The street went from yellow to silver
And vanished altogether
As if the dark trees had swallowed it up
Or rather, as if it had all been subtracted from the dark
It's not the same in uncertainty as far as Ozys but it has a deceptively simple way of a approaching a normal situation.
If your normal situations include vampires.
Re: Photogenicism vs sadness
I think its just in our nature.
If you are beautiful you take for granted the benefits it provides you and focus on how others will only see your beauty
If you are ugly you focus on how that limits you and ignore how the people who are in your life value you on a non-superficial level
You can say the same for wealth or intelligence or holding positions of power. Most of the people I know who have real money are constantly focus on how everyone in their lives wants to use them for their money or how they can't trust people they meet because they assume they want to use them for their money. Most of the really smart people I know are plagued by cynicism and a negative view of society that cripples their ability to let their guard down and live in the moment.
The grass is always greener on the other side which I believe is part of human nature. This drives people who want more but for those who 'have' it robs them of their happiness.

Everyone's a candle in wind :sad:

I guess it doesn't mean so much by itself, then. The idea of contrasts is usually to make something come out of it as reinforced, but anyway.
We should all try not to be "candles in the wind", and part of it is what Helz said. Being happy with what you have while looking for better and realizing that whatever you have, you still have something (at least in most modern societies for most people)... I try. But yes, everyone is a candle in the wind; we're humans after all. And that should make you :), not :sad:.
:)
I'm curious, what led you to make this thread, what's the intent behind it? It looks like verseless poetry.

Not poetry.
But look at Marilyn. Eyes deceive. Impossible to tell the sadness it is. Clouded our vision, the darkness has, nothing but brightness we see.
Re: Photogenicism vs sadness
It's possible that she wasn't sad (or forgot that she was) when she was performing, though.
