Favorites are few now . Once , I had a favourite teacher , classmate , pop singer , movie , food , drink etc.etc. the list was endless. Now , I am not so sure ,anymore.Some icons have fallen from grace , others have passed away . Everyone else appears good, all singers sing well , and most of the foods taste the same .
Most of the newspapers too , deal with a story in a similar manner . Same things are said . Cliches. Maybe I am old enough to recognise repetition . Or more forgiving now , of people's flaws , now that I too have seen some in my own self , or , extrapolating , in my "favourites".
My kids display the same passionate , vociferous display of territorial pride that I once did. Perhaps they too will learn to see themselves in others, as time passes . Or recognise their authors , boy-bands elsewhere too . We had Beatles , they have BTS. Wonder if I have got it all wrong , and that their world is more inclusive than ours . We could recognise lyrics , they just applaud the heartfelt subtitles.
