i think that exposure is one of the most important things in the world. it doesn't matter if reading other people's more intelligent and worldy wise slanged journals make you feel more stupid or feeling haughtily superior when reading some ah lian's comments make you feel like you've seen more, the thing is, the more you perspectives you are exposed too, the more informed your views on life, and thus, i suppose, it humbles you.

whatever it is, read everything and anything. even 'vogue'. you can never read too much of 'vogue'. a little bourgeosie fantasy is well, a necessary indulgence.
