This age of cell phone ring tones, celebrity envy and capitalism is slowly collapsing. Let anyone who has eyes read and take note, for what you think is important in this life has no value in the next. You can’t take it with you when you’re gone.
I was looking at the show “Fashion Police” with Joan Rivers yesterday. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black…
Here we have an old lady who has, to a very noticeable degree, destroyed her human face and strapped on something that seems to be a cross between a gecko and a mandrill. Yet she fixes her mouth to talk about other celebrities and the clothes they wear. Thinking back on it, seems like some twisted episode of the Twilight Zone where the real people are idolizing the horrible, disfigured personas of stardom, only to realize that their heroes are nothing but liars.
We are tweeting along with the famous, sycophantic drivel in barrels, bantering away when our spiritual lives are in decay. I believe it’s far gone by now. Shame on us.
I don’t want to excuse myself from this, for I am just as much to blame. Yet, at least I realize my folly. I am human enough to admit I need God and I can’t function in life without him to guide me. But those who are walking that dreamy line toward degradation, I hope you wake up long enough to deviate from the course.

Very good points, my brotha. As a society we really have our priorities screwed up, & too many of us worship at the feet of false gods (like celebrity). Maybe it's as simple as belittling others to make one's self feel BIGGER. Joan's made a very nice living , for decades, cracking on people's exteriors, so it's mad ironic that *she* no longer resembles an actual factual aging human being. Could it be based upon envy? I sense some degree of self-hatred there when someone so drastically changes their exterior.
But as a society, we all need to do better!
One.
Great blog. So true. If I see that stuff on, I have to turn it. I will not watch.
Oh definitely. I used to date this lady that was so into meeting stars that she would literally do anything...had to let her go.
I'm all with recognizing everyone is human. We all suffer, love and die. We don't need any idol worship.
