Celebrity

Celebrities are stars.
Stars shine. stars can be seen everywhere. stars are out of reach. If you get too close to a star, you get burned.
We watch the stars. We gaze at them.
Stargazers observe the movement of stars, and use them to determine human truth.
We blame the stars for what we do. We blame the stars for doing the same things we do, or we blame the stars for making us do what we do.
"The fault, dear Cassius, lies not in our stars but in ourselves".

Celebrities are idols.
idols are gods.
Gods do things we cannot do.
Gods do not suffer the same consequences we do.
We gather together to admire the works of gods.
We read about gods. About their marriages. Their infidelities. Their dysfunction. Their friendships.
We mythologise them, but the gods live just like us.
We satirise the gods.
Man invented the gods.
Man projects his traits onto the gods.
Study the gods, and you understand the men.

Worship celebrities, but only from afar. Disappointment will meet you if you get too close. They do not belong in your world, nor you in theirs. You can learn about life by watching them live theirs. You can learn about the faults that lie in the human soul, no matter where he is. Use celebrities as a way to feel better about yourself. Watch them commit your sins in High Definition, and blame them for it. Wag your finger. shake your head. Put your sins on them. Worship them. Buy their products. Patronise their work. Make them rich. make them more famous. Make them more worshippable. Elevate them more to blame them more to learn more about yourself and feel better about yourself.
