I have a curious fascination for world cultures and today I’m all Goth. I recently came across an interesting article in the Mailonline site that sent my curiosity into the dark Gothic world. I’ve seen Goths in movies and other programs but never really taken an in-depth look at their fascinating lifestyle. The mailonline story is simple. Boy loves girl and he moves around with her on a lead, like you would a pet dog. Girl is a self confessed human pet and is comfortable with the circumstances. It’s the discrimination that irks the couple.
Goths have mostly received a bad rap. When people think Goth they think black, evil, blood and horror. They’re stereotyped and perceived to be witches, devil worshipers and vampires though that’s not always the case. But like in every other culture and religion, there are some rotten apples that give them a bad name.
I doubt there are any Goths in these parts of the world. Unless we’re thinking of that black nail polish that was the rave some time back. Bit in the unlikely event that you come across some in the streets of
They’re not to be feared. Beneath the black clothing, jet black hair, black eyeliner, black nail polish, black lipstick and whatever else they prefer to wear, they’re normal people like you and me. They’re actually nice intelligent people capable of being happy like every one else. They just prefer the darker side of life. In any case they don’t always wear black. They’re not schizophrenics. They don’t suck people’s blood. They’re not Satanists. A Goth can be from any religion. Some, like this writer are Christians.
