The perpetual proliferation of “unless I’m running for office I can live my life as if nobody cares” is what is dragging down the overall morality and interaction quality among humans.

The fact that you’re stating that these are stereotypes and hypocrisy is exactly the outcome of rebellion. Let’s break stereotypes, they are all bad. But the attitude of being against everything that seems to confine you to a certain “stereotype” is what will eventually crush common sense in its entirety.

Morality is not something that you’re forced to mimic, it’s something you need to feel and act upon it.

Sigina,

The final goal, although utopia at the moment, is to have most people stating that you’re “totally awesome & amazing”.

Still, even showmen go backstage and have a corner in their lives where the cameras flashlights don`t reach :) And still, why should I care what people think about me :) There will always be smb who thinks I have "doubtful morality", it is about everyone`s standards. (I apologize if I missed a cap, u know my long nails baby...:P) Very nice your thoughts about “transparency”.

I think we should all get over our prude selves and realize that we all have skeletons in the closet and our private lives (or at least our personal affairs, which don't have anything to do with our professional lives) don't necessarily affect our business or impede us in doing our work. And I would like to give a notable example here, Penelope Trunk, who dares to makes her personal life public when it indeed affected her performance at work. I'm talking about her post on women miscarrying at work (I don't post any links, anyone interested can google it). As for "living your life like you're always on TV", the first thing that popped into my mind was Brittney Spears getting out of the car and flashing her ***** to the camera :) So my point here is this: as long as we're not running for a chair in some ethics committee or making a living as a pastor or any kind of spiritual leader, the "doubdful morality" approach is just perpetuating patriarchial stereotypes and hypocrisy.
