If you're not one of those narcissistic people who dress up for the sole purpose of parading their selfies all over Instagram, then disregard. This isn't about you, so don't take it so personally.

For most people it's become nothing more than a trendy "feel good" fashion statement.

Don't be heartless. Given the entire human population is separated by 7 degrees, you all must know someone important to you that has been affected by cancer. Try to think about what they and their loved ones are going through cause one day you might find yourself in an infusion center holding the hand of someone getting pumped full of chemo. And I don't care what the motivation, any awareness, contribution or not, is good. Keep those pink tie and starbucks airport selfies coming.

For me the bottom line is this: I nearly lost my mother to breast cancer. Every year my company encourages me to wear a pink tie in October to increase awareness, so I wear one. I don't think it'll change the world or make a huge difference, but it might help in some way. We do give to charity to support cancer research so it's not just a tie. The fact that I like having some color for one month out of the year is just a bonus, even though my son makes fun of me every time he sees me wearing the pink tie.
