Every now and again, somebody'll ask me somethin like 'Did you hear about so-and-so gettin engaged?' talkin about some celebrity. I'm always quick to say 'I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK.' We live in a society today where the average person is so consumed in the personal lives of celebrities. What they're wearing, who they're dating, they're diet...how ridiculous?! Just really think about it. We're SO concerned about every aspect of their lives, but have you ever stopped to think about how we mean absolutely nothing to them? NOTHING. And if you were to ever try to get anywhere NEAR a celebrity, they'd probably call their security on you. I mean, don't get me wrong. I love and respect their crafts and what they do, but that's where it stops. I have not a care in the world about them personally. We sit up here and watch people like Wendy Williams bash these people for the things that they do, but who are we to even have an opinion? You ever have a few people get in your business as far as your personal life? You think to yourself 'WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!' Now imagine having a million people invading your personal life. Could you imagine?
I look at it like this...the love and concern we have for these stars' lives is equivalent to a girl's obsession to a guy who doesn't give a damn about her and treats her like shit. You think amongst yourself 'Why does she continue to care about him when he don't even give a fuck about her?' IT'S THE SAME THING. Know what and who to care for in life, that's all i'm sayin.
NOTE: I was on Twitter and noticed that @RevRunWisdom only has a following of about 600,000. Kim Kardashian has a following of nearly 3 million. Just goes to show what we prioritize. Damn..
Great point.
ReplyDeleteIts funny that even when trying to avoid celebrity gossip/business it gets shoved down our throats by media, and you are absolutely correct, societies priorities need to be re-prioritized.
I honsetly feel the same way about celebrities.
