Looking Up To Liars

I never understood the way society looks up to and worships celebrities and actors. These are people who get paid to be who they really are not. They are liars, fakes and frauds. Yet society has this insane need to worship, follow and idolize them. The only thing that sets these people apart from everyday run of the mill people is their ability to fantasize and make believe. So why are we making them our role models? You have to think that society's sense of priorities are completely out of whack the people who truly deserve such praise and admiration go completely unnoticed and taken for granted. People like our own parents, our teachers, our first responders. I, for one, am tired of hearing about celebrities and their exploits and then hearing the outcry from the people about ho they should act better because they are a role model. First of all, they are actors for a reason. They have a need for attention. Secondly, their is no morals or ethics class needed to pass in order to be an actor, so why would they feel it is their responsibility to do what is right? If you want future generations to know a sense of decency and respect, show it to them yourself, don't expect it to be taught by, as Shakespeare would say, "A poor player who struts and frets their hour upon the stage and is heard no more.....an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Love to all.
