People often attack what they envy. Michael was the greatest, but he was very misunderstood. People attack what they don't understand, its just the way they are. Michael didn't deserve any of the media bullying that he suffered throughout his life, but you know that saying, what goes up must come down, well Michael was the greatest entertainer that ever lived, he was the most famous person in the world, he was at the top, but the media and other nasty people took a disliking to this and created their own portray of him.
If there's one thing that has been proven to us the fans and everyone else is that Michael was strong. He never changed for no one! He held his head up high and maintained his dignity throughout all the media bullying, he never stooped down to their level, ever. That to me is a real man!
Music was Michael escapism, and he allowed all his fans that same escapism with his music. Michael was a strong soul, he's even my strength. Whenever I feel sad and really unhappy, its Michael who I turn to, he never fails to me make me smile. I really believe that Michael is the strength within us all.
In life there's bound to be vultures about, wanting to bring you down all the time. Michael had his fare share of vultures who would do anything and say anything to try and destroy him, but Michael never let them win, they still haven't won. We the fans still love Michael, wether or not he had a addiction to prescription drugs. They can try and break our love for Michael any way they want, but they will NEVER suceed!
