  Speaker 1: So have you checked out Arrow.net yet? A-R-R-O-E.net. It's for
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: those moments when that ride to work is long. It's winding. Oh,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you feel like a Beatles tune, but you need a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: podcast instead. Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net. One of the top podcasts, Music's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Lost History. You know the music and the artists, but
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: can you name them before we share them with you?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Music's Lost History on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's me, the question guy, the dude that's always asking questions,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: because there's so much fun when you start doing the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: research for answers. Why do women, and not men, wear lipstick?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Or am I wrong here? Plus, if many of us
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: feel like that we have lived this life before, why
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: do we always act like we're shocked? My name is Arrow.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I call it The Daily Mess, a chronological walk through
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: an everyday world. It is my daily writing. And as
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to throw things to the side because we think we're
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: going to deal with it later on. I just jot
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: down a note and man, that's all I need to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: fuel that fire. When a subject arrives inside of me,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it is time to dig in. It's still keeping that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: daily journal, but by doing the research, the picture actually
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: becomes a lot clearer. This is the daily mess. Why
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: do women wear lipstick, but men don't? Two words, history.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and culture, not biology. Lipstick became associated with feminality over
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the centuries. Makeup has always been a part of the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: marketing world, and it's been the women who enhance their appearance. Now,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. Men have worn lipstick and other cosmetics.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Ancient Egyptians, aristocratic men, 17th and 18th century, And let's
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: not leave out the performers on a live stage. So
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: let's bring in Western culture now. This side of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: planet drew a strong line between men's and women's appearances.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Men in Western culture have always tried to look natural.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: There's no reason why men can't wear lipstick. There are
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: some men who actually do. Especially people involved with the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: fashion world. Why did society decide lipstick was? was for women. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It wasn't really society that made that decision. It's always
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: been up to who it is that is putting it on,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: whether it's through advertising, religion, and an ever-changing look of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: who you are, if it's masculine or if you just
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: want to look a little feminine today. Other fashions that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: come with wearing that lipstick include high heels, wigs, earrings,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: long hair, and wearing certain colors. It's not just about
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the lipstick. If you saw a man wearing it today,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you can't judge the man because the definition of wearing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: lipstick has changed so much today. In fact, it's changed
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: since the beginning of time. We talked about that. This
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is absolutely nothing new. Hey, coming up next, if you've
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: said I've lived this life before or it feels like it,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: then why are we shocked when things take place? Hey,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. When we've
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: said things like, we've lived this life before, or it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: feels like I've been here before, nothing seems to shock
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: us in the way of, oh my God, this is
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: brand new. Well, the experience of surprise is something that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: each and every one of us go through on a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: daily basis. It could be disappointment, it could be loss, rejection, betrayal,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and it could be just something as simple as change.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: When it happens again, what's the first thing that most
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of us always say? Oh, I've been here before. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: know what's going on. I've lived this before. And when
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it feels like that, many of us just feel shocked
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: about it. Why? We said we've lived this before. The
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: brain instantly kicks in because it's stunned. It's confused or
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: temporarily unable to process what's really taking place in this
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: moment of right now. And your body is saying this
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is very valuable. Well, a valuable rule in your heart
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: is experience doesn't undermine your life. It gives us a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: reference library. You know you feel like you've been here before,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: but there is a paradox. The older we get, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: harder it is to actually get surprised by something. But, but, but, but,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the things that we do that catch us off guard,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that's where the focus is. Our mind and body actually
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: have a deeper impact. Getting shocked or surprised tends to
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: break through everything that we said that we have done before. Well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: what about reincarnation? Ooh, we had to go there, right? Yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that encounter, those experiences... It's over and over again. It's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that same thing. I think I've lived this life before,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but here's the thing. There is absolutely no scientific evidence
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: establishing memories or lessons in life from another life. We
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: can say it all day, but there's nothing that backs
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it up. And that is a powerful walk in life.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
