When I think back about the life of Michael Jackson, the first thing that comes to my mind is that he was a shy introverted perfectionist that had a hard time fitting into the world today. I also believe that Michael Jackson never wanted to grow up, so he saw the world at age 50 - in the same way he did back in his teenage years. Believe me when I say that there have been times in my own life when I too wanted to go back and be a teenager again when the stresses of being an adult became too great.
The fact that Michael Jackson was shy and a perfectionist proves that many times in life the people that have the least to say, end up saying the most in the end just through the actions and in Michael Jackson's case his music and dancing ability. It is also common that shy perfectionist like Michael Jackson are many times introverted as well. The three traits of being introverted, shy and a perfectionist lead Michael Jackson to musical and dancing genius, but at the same time these three blessings from God turned out to also come with a bunch of demons that brought about Michael's early demise.
Sadly, for Michael Jackson, there is no room in the world today for a grown man that wants to continue to act like a child. There have been far too many cases of child abuse for the world to just accept a grown man acting like a child. Much to Michael Jackson's distress, his own inability or unwillingness to acted grown up landed him in court many times because of child abuse allegations that were never believed by a jury. The shy introverted perfectionist personality of Michael Jackson caused many adults with young children to fear him because they did not understand what really made Michael Jackson tick.
While the shy perfectionist named Michael Jackson never found comfort in the adults around him, over his 50 short years on this Earth - his music effected people in so many positive ways. Not long ago I wrote a post about how Michael Jackson's song "Gone Too Soon" offered comfort to the family of Ryan White decades ago and that same song was also featured at a memorial service for Caylee Anthony earlier this year. In a strange sort of way - the shy introverted perfectionists that make up this world tend to give the rest of us a happier life, while at the same time much of their own life is forfeited in the process.
