Feud ended tonight and I am quite satisfied with the whole experience. Murphy handled the show with a lot of respect and maturity. It should win lots of awards. It tackled a lot of topics about being a woman, including some of the drastic measures people would take to stay beautiful, the vulnerability of old age, and the various terrifying things people will do to be loved.
One of the things Crawford said on the show before she died was that she spent so much time creating "Joan Crawford" for everyone else that she had no idea who she was when she was alone. I think it's very important that we encourage people to know themselves, to be by themselves, and to value that time. People need to know who they are when they're alone. They need to cherish that time and view it as a blessing.
Being alone means no compromising with anyone or listening to their complaints. It means not having to deal with their demands or moods or ideas. I mean, it's good to know how to handle other humans too (I guess), but it's best to love your alone time. After all, you will have more of that than anything else.
