Celebrity

 

The theme of this week are celebrities. I instead choose a celebrity or do an interview of what people think about those people that we make famous. I gave the task of analyze, why these people, normal and common as any of us, have the power to make us spend our money, lost our time and wish their lives. When we are in the supermarket, when we walk down the street, when we are in our homes watching television or listen to the radio, we are constantly bombarded by different common people that many see as gods. We wish their hair, their clothes, their houses and in more extreme cases often we would like to be  like them. What makes these people's life be more valuable than ours?. We are not happy with who we are?, because if it is in this way, we have very serious problems of self-esteem. Or is it more like admiration?, then if it is it, can we admire a person to feel less  and wish uncontrollably, spending our money and hours of life to want the lives of others. Well, suppose that it is rather a simple admiration. Because these people, perhaps can buy things that many wish?. Or they receive attention, desire, admiration and importance that we want?. That admiration and fame that often we give to different types of people, for stupid things, is not something of today . Through history there have been different types of famous people, that somehow it became ridiculously admired. This "admiration" indisputably leads us to want to be like them. To become obsessed to the point of resorting to a plastic surgery to obtain silhouette of Jennifer López, or the lips of Angelina Jolie. Or we spend hundreds of dollars trying to transform our hair that  had that actress in the last interview. Or change our closet each season to imitate their style of dress, their combinations, that automatically becomes ours.

Admire in a  obsessive way a  celebrities is something really  worrying. When we leave our life to live the life of others, where is our essence?. Where we leave what we really like, and  our creativity?. We become puppets, imitating absolutely everything. They manipulate us and become millionaires at the expense of our pocket. Are their ideas, acts and favorites are  better than ours?.  I think that we have to analyze what we are doing. Let dress like the artist on the cover of that magazine, for the simple fact that she is famous, when you can have your own style, your own hair, your own forms of acting, thinking...your own life. You can admire those who do good things but, not obsessed with the lives of others and forgetting who we are. Focus on our life and stop to aspire to be like a celebrity. Stop dreaming about their lives and give value and importance to those who we really are.
