On Following Celebrities

I like to think that when I hope for the best for a celebrity then that person’s life may turn out for the better.

There are many famous people that we can somehow support emotionally.

I don’t follow celebrities’ whereabouts but I know that they’d appreciate getting compliments and are certainly not immune to put-downs.

I tire of noticing people bash famous people on Twitter and other social media accounts.

Why do some people think (or not think much) it’s okay to lash out at complete strangers who only happen to likely have a substantially higher salary and a wider wardrobe?

Whatever celebrities may own and whomever they may know and whatever privileges they may have and however many people may know them don’t mean that celebrities don’t care to receive warmth from others.

I wonder if some celebrities appreciate being thought of by someone living on an island in the South Pacific, by villagers in rural South Africa, by children living in subsidized housing in a city, and by a little girl watching YouTube video clips in her living room.

Of course, it’s likely that celebrities want to be left alone but it’s certain that they don’t mind being admired.
