When Worship of Real a Celebrity Leads to Heart Problems
We all get caught up in Celebrity Worship, there is always someone out there that if we could just be like them maybe life would be a little bit easier, maybe life would be more fun. If I could be like Mike (Micheal Jordan) I could’ve just played a sport for a living and been a world renown athelete. We all some point in our lives long to be someone we are not, we all desire to have things that Celebrities have. We think they have something we don’t, fame, money, fortune. Misery? But do we really long for? Don’t you long to know that someone cares? Don’t you long for someone to truely say that they love you? If we found that person, “The Greatest Celebrity of All” we would worship them and what if we truely worshipped that celebrity and in return we found someone who was so world famous but they weren’t too big to love you and to tell you that they cared about you. And what if you never had to take on the lifestyle of a celebrity to enjoy this experience? What would life be like?

Matt,
I’m glad to see that you have made a post. I like how you added a link to you post with a news story. It was an interesting article. What celebrity did you worship as a little kid? I think I most wanted to be MJ. Bryan confessed to me one time that he wanted to be Pee Wee Herman as a child.

Joey,
Thanks for responding to my post, you are offically the first person, other than myself to write on my blog (kind of). So I’m going to dedicate a spot for you. By the way I always wondered what was wrong with Bryan, and now I know thanks.

I think celebrity worship kind of boils down to envy. Our desire to have what that celebrity has. The excitement that we perceive in their lives is what we long for. Part of what they have is a whole world full of people that love them. Maybe that’s what we are really jealous of. The fact that the status of celebrity is the ultimate picture of being “accepted” by society.

I found this article very interesting about our society. It sounds to me that people have a longing for something in there life and some people try to feel that longing with people who are really famous. I thought it was interesting because I believe God put that longing into our lives for Him, and it’s been replaced by longing to be like someone or having something somone else has. Just a Random thought
