Katie Doyle has been a recurring cast member on a number of MTV reality shows. Her original role in 2001's season of Road Rules has lead to a number of reality TV offers and MTV-related gigs. After years of reality shows and challenges, Katie moved from Los Angeles to Chicago, Illinois. |
When you cried last time and, if no secret, for what reason? Honestly, the last time I cried was after watching the movie 'Seven Pounds' with Will Smith. I know it sounds ridiculous considering it was a movie, but his characters selfless behavior was moving. I am not wanting to ruin the movie for those who have yet to see it, but to give something so important up for someone else is inspirational. Granted, he was motivated by extreme guilt, and I don't completely agree with the circumstances, but I could relate to making sacrifice for the greater good. It was touching regardless.
There are some events during our life, when it seems as there is no way out. That could be tragic circumstances or such assessment of them. At that time, what's the thing to do? [No answer.]
Could you please choose any event of last days, weeks or months, that has distressed you? It can be any happening on a local or international scale. How could you comment on it? Well, I have competed in several reality television shows for MTV that always seem to distress me. I am not sure if its due to the level of competition, the location far from home, or the potential of losing. I do know that it is always incredibly stressful because of the deceit, betrayal, sabotage, manipulation and lying. Those are not considered 'normal' situations to be involved in on numerous occasions so that causes you to become very agitated and realize your not playing a mentally healthy game. It can break you emotionally which obviously distresses you and creates self doubt which is never a good feeling. I recently returned from another one and the word stress does not even begin to describe my experience.
There's always a new danger watching for humanity in its way, always a new temptation we're ready succumb to. What's the danger of our days? And what's the way to avoid this trap? The danger of the superficial. Things that should be important are no longer important. People seem to care more about image and instant gratification. Humanity is already starting to succumb to it, status is becoming more important than morals, family, and even culture. We are also becoming more lazy as a nation. Everything is done for us, our cell phones are now basically hand held computers. If you're inquisitive over a subject, instead of researching it by reading books and going to a library, you can now just google something and instantly have a basic answer. Vague seems to be good enough. I too, am guilty of becoming addicted to mindless entertainment.
What are the main obstructions to apply humanities principles at our today's life? Could they be solved? The question just before this answers this one. The main obstruction to humanity's existance is itself. We make things easier for ourselves constantly. We eat more fat, just to come up with more diets or infomercials about exercising for 20 minutes a week. We make our technology able to proccess anything we need in the palm of our hand. We do this while ignoring actual situations that are affecting our lives such as economy, government, famine, global warming, and so on just to make our own little world a little more comfortable for us everyday. We have become very selfish beings while barely lifting a finger. These problems could be solved, but only after the bottom falls out, and we realize what's been more important all along: our HUMANITY.
