Recent news reports indicate that politicians who have views and behavior beyond social norms are the ones who collect donations at the highest levels. Entertainers who have flamboyant lifestyles and create spectacles on stage have large fan bases. We follow the lives and careers of premier athletes who slam dunk and dance in the end zone.
I believe this is because most of us aren’t willing to take the risk to expand ourselves into the fuller, richer people we could be. We use celebrities to fill the gaps in ourselves. The basis for celebrity is not necessarily any greater than what we could find in ourselves.
Why aren’t the doctor, the scientist, the sanitation worker or the teacher worthy of celebrity? We need to believe more in our own celebrity than to just be entertained
