Fashion, music, why can't we all just get along?

Fashion is cool.  Fashion is creative.  Fashion is a statement, and fashion is timeless.  I went to an event to support the LA fashion school at Barker Hanger by the santa monica airport, and it was very impressive to see the top students have lines of clothing with models doing the catwalk for everyone to see the different styles.  Very impressive and cool.  And during this even, there were outfits on mannequins to demonstrate the 'hip' clothes from the 60's and 70's.  Versace outfits, Gucci, Chanel to name a few.  Anyway, it was interesting to see these outfits from so long ago because they seemed as if they were outfits of today.  Meaning, a dress that Versace made in 1967 could definitely be a hipster dress today.  So, what am I trying to say?  I think I am just trying to say that as much as we think times are changing, or that humans are evolving or maturing, I have to say that I am not sure that is the case.  The outfits demonstrated to me that we are pretty much the same, our tastes kind of stay the same throughout the times and maybe they change from season to season, but what was cool 30 years ago could come back and be cool today.
Similar to music I think...like the Beatles song, Let It Be...it is a great song, was a great song back when it was first released, and is a great song now.  The meaning, the simplicity, the melody, it is just great and in one year to infinity years it will still be great.  U2 ONE is a timeless song.  The meaning, the song, the lyrics, it all worked when it came out and it will work forever.  And I could go on and on and on with other timeless songs, but you get the point.  What is great, what is simply great, is just going to stay great forever I believe.  Which says to me, that we, people, humans, creation, we are who we are and our emotions, our sensitivities, our nature is not going to change very much.  Good, bad, I don't think we have to judge it, it just is what it is...maybe?
But, why are we always trying to change ourselves?  Well, I think we need to improve society, improve how we treat others, improve how we get along with others and all of that, but maybe we should become more accepting of ourselves and in turn, we will become more accepting of everyone else...I am a huge victim of trying to change and become better, but I think that makes me critical or harder on my friends and my family.  Maybe it makes me someone who is harder for the world to live with as well, looking at the universal picture.  Maybe I should become more accepting of my nature, my humanity, my core and trust that I am doing pretty good...maybe we should all have a little more faith in ourselves and our neighbors...
I mean, really...why can't we all just get along ???????!!!!!!  :)
