Thinking Our Portrait
If you remembering of a family portrait, you will knew that they must be place in guest-room or family room in right every recent modern family. What you'd looks in such those picture? It should be at least like this: father with its formally-best-suited-jacket, young son (may be you) with formally-best-suited too, mother with local/national dress makes it seem motherly (nature to be usual women for good family), and might be also their daughter in their best suited. All dressed their best suit. All smiling. The father's hand hanging her hand through her childs, makes it is clear that they are happy family. The sons & daughters, with their best-smile, placing their best face shows that they're proud to be a member of its family. Yes, this is actually the best picture of their family portrait. You must be know, this portrait was selected after tons of others which seem to be 'bad' showing the happy family. Those bad should be trashed. Now, i ask you, why we only show the happy ones if we lived in the world of happy and unhappy? It's usual now by the happening of: fathers liar corrupting in their office, mothers do something unanshamed, son consumes tons of drugs, and daughter laugh at loud by her family and did something jerk. Do we too ashamed showing our natural portrait? Yes, the answer, we--including me sometimes--eventually too ashamed showing the naturally profile of myself, of my family, of ours. We just lying to ourself, we're the best and happy!Posted at June 05, 2002 11:34 AM | Perspective
