I kind of wonder anyone can answer this ponder. If two people speak and say the same thing, one a normal person and the other a celebrity. Both speak the same words of positivity and uplifting. Yet one was all but ignored because it came from someone who lives an ordinary life without the name behind it. The other some famous person that has a large amount of money, social status and maybe a sense of license to grace humanity with a sense of public consciousness. Who would one believe? I ask this for the simple reason that I consider how so many people can follow the shepherd of the famous - as if his words will lead the flock of the non-elite to Nirvana.
It makes me laugh how so many of those famous people just go out and do those commercials for one saying oh do this, give that, help this and blah blah blah. Now I am all for those that do have a genuine cause, or a worthwhile charity. I am all for that. But I do consider myself thinking of this. How many these folks actually cough up the money they ask many of the viewers and citizens. I am like hell you make a few million dollars a year, you cough up most the cash for whatever. Think you can use the tax write-off anyway right? Think my poor $.52 a day going to help. I remember someone say oh yeah 52 cents (the price for a cup of coffee can help feed some starving guy in Africa.) I'm thinknig like where the hell is that place right now. I wanna eat for fiddy-two cents a day. And I know many more who do too. Today, you can't even get bubble gum that cheap. Oh how I miss those days.
And the other I have to get a good chuckle at is all those who just post all these videos and posts of all these positive, uplifting, motivational words of good merit, cheer and hoopla, that I know about 100 folks who don't have the platinum charge card from American Express and the common gentry laps it up like snozzeberry icecream from wonka's factory. I guess it is true the messenger is more important the message one gives. Yet, I wonder, do many of these people believe what they even say or is it just a ploy - or a case of absolute bullshittery (yes that is a word). And I do ask, if you have a friend who can say the same thing, may not in so many words, or so many others who follow them like a shadow. But, you sometimes need to ask - where is the credibility of those paid endorsers of the common welfare? Ever wonder they just say most of this out of pure sincerity, or are they just entrapping the mind with scented words that can cause you to fall for anything with no substance? Now, I know many others would say the same thing. There is always an agenda for everyone - but do you fall for the one who captures the masses with the honeyed words of falsity, or the ordinary Joe Schmo?
Who knows, maybe writing this entry, or even keeping this blog is the thing that so many others (well those who have bank statements that look like my phone number). I don't know. Difference is that I just bring a harsh reality of enlightenment. I don't consider myself to be anything motivating - but maybe in twisted way, I could be. Who knows. Yet, I ain't famous...except in my own head. I'm pretty popular there.
