tRUE sELF sYNDROME

What is going on?? Since last week, we have all these well known people that lash out on public raido/tv, on or off the record, and then end up apologizing for it. And yes, they are forgiven for their deviating from being civilized as we forgive our children. (At least some of us do) All these known episodes happened in one lousy week, from last Wednesday to this:

1-Senator of South Carolina, with the outburst of “You Lie” when the president was delivering his healthcare speech.

2-Serena Williams with her outburst in US Open.

3-Kanye West, with his uncalled for interruption on MTV VMA when Taylor Swift was making her award speech.

4-President Obama, calling Kanye West a “Jack Ass”, even if it was, or he believed that he was, off the record.

Whether the words are justified or not is a whole different story, but what happened to freedom of speech coupled with respect? All the above people were exercising their freedom of speech, and at the same time violating someone else’s rights. I am very confused, if both party’s are at right, then who is wrong? I guess that sometimes it is hard to channel you anger and frustration through ”Constructive Dialogue”, and the old basic lashing out gets the message across more effective, of course with a price tag attached.

Be careful with what you are eating, drinking or breathing. It seems to me that a new epidemic is forming and is that it seems to be contagious! Maybe FDA should be working on a vaccine for that too. It should be called “tRUE sELF sYNDROME”, because how much they train you to be civilized and mindful, at times, your true self manifests its originality and snaps, and these cases OUCH it snapped bad.
