Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's me, the question guy. The dude that's always asking questions because there's so much fun when you start doing the research for answers. Why do women and not men wear lipstick? Or am I wrong here? Plus, if many of us feel like that we have lived this life before, why do we always act like we're shocked? My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing, but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.

1:00It is my daily writing. And as a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw things to the side because we think we're going to deal with it later on. I just jot down a note and man, that's all I need to fuel that fire. When a subject arrives inside of me, it is time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research, the picture actually becomes a lot clearer. This is the daily mess. Why do women wear lipstick? But men don't. Two words, history and culture, not biology. Lipstick became associated with feminality over the centuries. Makeup has always been a part of the marketing world. And it's been the women who enhance their appearance. Now here's the thing. Men have worn lipstick and other cosmetics. Ancient Egyptians, aristocratic men, 17th and 18th century, and let's not leave out the performers on a live stage.

2:01So let's bring in Western culture now. This side of the planet drew a strong line between men's and women's appearances. Men in Western culture have always tried to look natural. There's no reason why men can't wear lipstick. There are some men who actually do, especially people involved with the fashion world. Why did society decide lipstick was for women? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It wasn't really society that made that decision. It's always been up to who it is that is putting it on, whether it's through advertising, religion and an ever changing look of who you are. If it's masculine or if you just want to look a little feminine today, other fashions that come with wearing that lipstick include high heels, wigs, earrings, long hair and wearing certain colors. It's not just about the lipstick. If you saw a man wearing it today, you can't judge the man because the definition

3:04of wearing lipstick has changed so much today. In fact, it's changed since the beginning of time. We talked about that. This is absolutely nothing new. Hey, coming up next, if you've said I've lived this life before or it feels like it, then why are we shocked when things take place? Hey, thanks for coming back to the Daily Mass. When we've said things like we've lived this life before or it feels like I've been here before, nothing seems to shock us in the way of, oh my God, this is brand new. Well, the experience of surprise is something that each and every one of us go through on a daily basis. It could be disappointment. It could be loss, rejection, betrayal, and it could be just something as simple as change. When it happens again, what's the first thing that most of us always say, oh, I've been here before. I know what's going on. I've lived this before. And when it feels like that, many of us just feel shocked about it. Why we said we've lived this before.

4:06The brain instantly kicks in because it's stunned. It's confused or temporarily unable to process what's really taking place. In this moment of right now, in your body, it's saying this is very valuable. Well, a valuable role in your heart is experience doesn't undermine your life. It gives us a reference library. You know, you feel like you've been here before, but there is a paradox. The older we get, the harder it is to actually get surprised by something, but, but, but, but, the things that we do that catches off guard. That's where the focus is. Our mind and body actually have a deeper impact. Getting shocked or surprised tends to break through everything that we said that we have done before. Well, what about reincarnation? Ooh, we had to go there, right? Yeah, that encounter, those experiences, it's over and over again.

5:07It's that same thing. I think I've lived this life before, but here's the thing. There is absolutely no scientific evidence establishing memories or lessons in life from another life. We can say it all day, but there's nothing that backs it up. And that is a powerful walk in life. I'm Arrow, and that's the Daily Mess.
