Check, check, check...

Here's a thought I had a couple of days ago... Do I look like an idiot every time I step out my front door? Kind of a daunting thought when you put it like that.

Allow me to explain. People do or do not dress to your approval. Admit it, you couldn't believe that lady at the mall yesterday would go out in public dressed like that and you looked down on her for it. Ok, well maybe not that exact scenario but something like it. When people don't dress to our standards we not only look down upon them but sometimes we even think them less intelligent.
Have you ever considered that people view you in this light as well? Really chew this through. This can obviously pertain to more than clothing choice but I chose it as my example because it is often the first way people interpret you.
Well if you think Sally Sweatpants looks bad and Mr. Paisley Tie is a twit, then who's to say that anyone is or isn't "in style," or better yet level-headed. Who decides those that are "normal" (for lack of a better word) from those that aren't. One might say it's Fashion Designers or Scholars, but can they really be responsible for judging humanity.
So after we've just establishing that what you look like, or what you say or do doesn't matter, we're all still going to wake up tomorrow and try to look like that magazine model or act like that guy that catches everyones attention, even though it's pointless.
We're all trapped in a horrible cycle of realizing other people's opinions don't matter and yet abiding by them anyway. It's quite frustrating really.
That was just my two cents for the week.
