Why is it, that so many in our society look to those people we have so little in common with as those to be role models for our youth. These people who make movies, or have made careers in sports or entertainment or politics. Most of these people have nothing in common with us as individuals. They seem to think they have the wisdom to tell us how todress, what to eat and what to think, but they have, for the most part,left our world of living and struggling to make ends meet. They are onan entirely different playing field, with rules and guidelines all their own.
What they can do and get away with, would most likely end us in jail, and who's to say if they have any clue to whatwe have to go through to keep our heads above water. Is it a case of class envy that we place these people in such a glittered light. Does the fact that these people have more money and influence, somehow make them immune from the same headaches and problems that we have to endure, or is it that they are in the spotlight more than we, and we crave the glitter and glamor of the foot lights.
Why should we not try to be the best we can be and become a role model ourselves. We are the ones that our children see the most of. Why should we idolize those who we know so little about and concentrate on making us more appalling to the youth around us. It is always ok to dream, but when dreams become an obsession, then reality suffers and we find ourselves unprepared for what is directly ahead of us, and we fail at being the most important person to ourselves and those around us. That is the person we are. I ask you. What is wrong with who we are that we look elsewhere for being a goal for success.
