Michael has proven to me that this world will never Heal. Why? Because there are not enough people like Michael, and too many media/media slut/hater/evil people in the world. Heal the World was a dream that will never be, because this world is filled with sick judgmental people and unfortunately sometimes it feels like they're everywhere. I know no MJ fans in real life, and people bring out the usual hater garbage. I just listen to Michael's music because he believed the world could be Healed. Now I know that it never will be, and I really don't care anymore. I just care about Michael and my own life just seems so dull and meaningless.

Yes, I agree with you. There's so much more to him than his music and talent... but so many people never see that.
I agree, he actually has made me more tolerant. When I feel frustrated or annoyed at people, I actually think about all he went through, and he always always FORGAVE and never held a grudge, and it helps me to do the same.
Oh Neeve, that is beautiful thank you.
Do you feel like MJ inspired you as in he chose you?
I know that many might disagree but MJ has the most Christ -like qualities of any man who walked this earth apart from JC himself.

Thanks just a girl and ALL who have replied to my thread. :yes:
I am so so grateful to have this site to come to late at night, and spend my time away from everyone else. I have visited this site every single night since I joined, it has become a nice habit! :yes:
Just today I ended up arguing my 'case' and 'cause' for MJ. Somone who seemingly agreed with me, and watched MJ dvd live tour 'Mystery of history' with me the other day, I discovered was taking the P**S out of me really behind my back, and their excuse was when challenged.............''I'm just worried about you........you have become obsessed.etc etc.....
I've got news for that person...............I've been unashamedly obsessed with MJ since 1987 when 1st saw ''Bad'' video long version! :agree:
So for the past 22 yrs I have been mad about MJ. :wub:
As folks say we all entitled to our own opinion, but my motto is.........
''If you can't say anything nice.........don't say anything at all! '' :scratch:

Oh thank you *blushes*
I don't know if "chose" is the right word, but I defintely think there are a lot of people who never did/will appreciate his full message. People are too cynical and caught up in scandals and lies. Also, I think part of the problem is that Michael is SO GOOD, genuinely GOOD, that many people can't really understand that. "How can someone so famous and wealthy actually not have an ulterior motive; how can someone in that position NOT be selfish and greedy and dishonest?" is what people think. They just couldn't comprehend that he was a good, kind, caring, beautiful soul, so they had to misnterpret it. That's what I think anyway.
I completely agree with you. A lady who was at Uri's wedding thing said that Michael had an energy that she only ever felt from the Pope! And that doesn't even surprise me.
Yes, well said. As he said himself, I don't think he IS Jesus or anything, but certainly he emulated him more than anyone I've ever seen. So generous, open, forgiving, proactive about changing the world. And never appreciated for it.
Honey, I know how you feel. It makes me so angry that even now, people only remember the bad LIES about him. Believe me, I know what you mean. BUT if we give up on trying to change the world, we're letting them win. I don't want that, and I'm sure you don't either. Michael never gave up; he kept doing what is right because he believed in it, and he believed in us.
You know what? The people who matter know the truth.
Michael knew that what he did was good.
His family and close friends knew it.
We know it.
The people he helped know it. (The children in hospitals, orphanages, people he spoke to, etc).
All the people who matter know the truth. And for now, I guess that has to be enough for us to keep fighting and trying to change the world. As MJ said, if you affect ONE person, you're making a difference.
Thank you Neeve and Mjfan4ever.
It's replies like these that really uplifts me! :yes:
It's folks like you and without boasting, me, and everyone on this site that keep Michael's cause alive. :clapping:
So well said in your quote '' If you can affect one person, you are making a difference''.................again a paralllel to the one who said ''If I find just one faithful man I will save the whole city'' ( Those who 'know' will know what I am implying here.)
God rest Michael's beautiful soul. xxx

I used to get teased for liking him too before he died. But now everyone loves him again. (jumping on bandwagon) Or at least making more of an attempt to listen and look without prejudice.
I just ignore it and I think that's what you should do. People are always going to have an opinion. Who cares? Are they paying your bills? Are they giving emotional or spiritual support? You can't please everyone.

I do have the same problem. My husband doesn’t understand me and doesn’t even show any interest to discuss news about MJ. He thinks that MJ was a regular man with many problems. I tried to explain to him that Michael is not just a celeb he is more than that. It didn’t help. So, I do not bring up this subject anymore. It very sad for me.
One my family member recently said that he doesn’t care how much money Michael donated because he thinks that MJ was a child molester. It took me 1 hour to fight over it. Geez. And I am not sure that this person changed his mind.
I think, people just being ignorant sometimes or all the time. People just do not want to think outside the box. No matter what I say many people around me hate Michael or call him a freak. Anyways, Michael will be remembered as a great human being, humanitarian, talented and loving person who tried to change and heal this world. Millions around the World love him.

i was just reading through the thread and wasn't going to post but i felt i had to because what you said rang so true. i could seriously talk for hours about this but i don't want to bore you but i also felt that way about michael. for me i knew from a young age about 3 that michael loved children and it made me love him. i never had a father he died 6 years ago when i was 13 but i'd be lying to say it affected me even slightly i have visual memory of him and i remember is horror stories about him from my mum and her family. Through my darkest moments michael truly gave me happiness. i remember i think it was 2002 when the bashir interview was aired now this year was pretty much the most traumatic year of my life but for that one hour or so i could forget about all the mess that was going on in my life and watch my hero. For that hour icould feel free and really feel like a child again like i should of at 12 years old...my story i'm sure is one of many, the details change but the feeling of joy and love stays the same. I just hope michael knew how much joy he gave to so many people on a deeper level than just enjoying his music or his dancing. It's seems God felt his work was done here on earth and michael where you are i just want to let you know you've touched my life forever.
Thankyou...

in the US he was a pop star, but there (US) is where most stupid music comes out, sorry but its true, they know nothing about arts, Michael was a genius, not a "pop star" britney spears is a pop star i would mock u if you were like that for someone like her, my advice dont pay attention, they have no musical ear, i mean u must have a personality, and most importantly: who cares what they think? right?

I wouldn't say i've been mocked as such as the people around me agree Michael was magnificant, however i am the only one who has taken his death badly whilst everyone agrees it's sad and has moved on with life, my son keeps saying oh you're crying again you're obsessed etc but i try to tell him he just really doesn't understand how massive Michael's dying is and how much this really has knocked me for six, i just expected Michael to always be around like he has the last 40 years of my life and i just find it hard to envisage the world without Michael in it, If people want to mock me about feeling like i do then it's their problem not mine i can't help the way i'm feeling and i'm certainly not going to apologise for it

I love this.
Anyone can appreciate his dancing and his music that is so true. But the fans get deeper into his personality, his soul, his entire being. I want to get as close to him as i can and never stop. I have never felt so much yearning to know and learn and to be with an artist before ever.

Amen Elayne and welcome to this site! :yes:
Let us also remember that Michael wasnt just the worlds greatest singer and dancer, but he was also..................gifted in writing!!! :yes:
I have just tonight been reading ''dancing the dream'' which MJ wrote.
Sensitive and insightful, intimate and amazing.
Quote from MJ's dancing the dream poem called ''Heaven is here''
It starts with:
''You and I were never separate
It's just an illusion
Wrought by the magical lens of
perception''
and ends with;
''Heaven is here,
Right now this moment of Eternity
Don't fool yourself
Reclaim your Bliss''
Says it all.
God rest your beautiful soul. :angel:

I should buy Dancing the dream, since i discovered that moonwalk was ghost written and that i hadn't really been reading his words.
Billie_Jean09

Yes DS! Read words from MJ's mouth himself rather than words of others!
Having said that some books are still worth reading.............forgive me and correct me if wrong.............am sure you guys will............Moonwalk was approved my MJ???
:doh: Hope I'm right on that one as not read it myself.............
We read so much trash.........
Dancing the dream was an MJ book - soz hope it's ok mods.........but play.com has new revised version for £8.99. :yes:

Oh wow! I'll definitely look into purchasing this. I did think that Moonwalk was written by him, but informers advise me otherwise which was kind of disheartening since i did get quite emotonal reading that and to think that some other guy wrote the entire thing. I know most auto-biogs are ghost written but ergh, it was just so disapointing.
Whatsmore is that the author emulated Michael's voice accurately and brilliantly. When i read it you could really hear his rythym, and his speaking voice clearly. I sseriously thought it was him

It's impossible to change someone's mind if they aren't open to it. Someone said to me that one day "his little playmates will start talking just like the victims of those catholic priests did." But he said he didn't really care one way or the other. "Shovel him over, toss down the flowers and move on."

I honestly just ignore the idiots. I liked him as much as everyone else does on this forum and website.
It's always been strange to me that there is so many people who love MJ, but so many that hate him. Anyways, I used to be mocked in highschool for being a big fan, but now I'm in college so people are a bit more mature, although some still don't understand his impact. But luckily for me I have my mom and boyfriend who are fans, so I'm not so alone.
There's always going to be a large group of people out there that "don't get it." But I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. There are basically two kinds of people in this world - Michael Jackson fans and those who don't really know him.

I will add to this..............

HELL YES!
Here in Québec, you almost just can't say you are a MJ fan, except maybe to your close friends who you know won't judge you. This is INSANE! On TV, I think they think that saying bad things on MJ won't hurt anybody because nobody here likes him, well, they are wrong! It hurts! because we speak french, they think they can say whatever BS they want. I stopped years ago saying I was a MJ fan, it hurts to much here. and now that Michael is gone, I just don't go out, I don't hang with people becase I KNOW they are just gonna ask me why I look sad and if I tell them it's because of MJ' death, I'll be laughed at like crazy.. Well, I'd rather be crazy alone in my bedromm listening to his music and watching TV.
I once went to a humorist show and when I told him I was a MJ fan, he asked me ''are you suicidal?'.. WHAT???
The day after MJ's death (NOT EVEN 24 HOURS AFTER!) my mom phoned to ask me if I knew.. (hey what'd'a think!) and she just told, ''well, you'll have to get over it..'' COME ON, IT HASN'T BEEN 24 HOURS DAMMIT!
2 of my ''.friends'' asked me how long I was gonna mourn and cry.. What d'you mean how long??? If you don't wanna see that just leave! stupid people!
Well, the way MJ fans are treated here just makes me insanely angry, I just wish I could move to a place where I could find many like me, who could understand.

This is why I've never really been open about my love for MJ. I'm afraid of getting mocked and not taken seriously. I see no point in surrounding myself in negativity for loving someone that people cannot possibly understand why I should love him. I guess maybe you could put it to them this way, for them to imagine their favorite famous person or idol dying. How would they feel? People should at the very least show respect when their friend talks about how much this person impacted their lives, but you can't always get respect I guess.

CaptainEoLove85 thanks for your reply to my post.
I guess I am used to the experience of others not agreeing with me on matters closest to my heart!
I am a Christian and have known what it feels like to be on the receiving end of poeple's sharp and harsh tongues. Those who don't share or agree with me!
It deosnt matter really at the end of the day...........what matters is my love and admiration and appreciation of the one who has inspired me............Michael Jackson................he truely is a gift from heaven itself.
I thank God for Michael and pray for his sweet tender soul.

I just don't talk to people about MJ who don't understand. If they don't care and think I'm being ridiculous, it's a waste of my time and energy. I don't have that much energy at the moment so why waste the little that I have on some insensitive fools.

Thanks for your replies. I have infact become quite immune now to those who dont share my feelings. I am coping just about one day at a time.
Missing Michael so very very much. :-(
