Have you ever been into situations when you are so tired or so sick and you think you just need to sleep and yet can’t do so? These are the times where you realize that what you think you need in the moment is not really what you have to have.

It is just recently that I’ve come to admit how fascinated I am with celebrities and the perfect lives that they seem to be living. I know, I know. No one’s life is supposed to be perfect. But these people, these beautiful and charming people seem to just have a way out of the miseries this cruel world brings. This is why I have this great respect to artists, the good and serious ones, not necessary celebrities, who let us believe that there is more to life that is still unexplored and wonderful. I have this fascination to this actors and actresses maybe for the reason that they are the ones on the front lines, they are the ones who directly get the message and emotions across. And when they do, the most amazing things happen, we are moved, inspired and comforted from our everyday tribulations. What these actors do is one of the few things that must not be set aside as something irrelevant. For people like me who are just holding on by a thread to their sanity, admiring someone, be it based on their physical attributes, wit or status in life, is just what we need to carry on.

Some say that people who have been through a lot of sufferings, hardships and difficulties grow to be the most humble. But I came to realize that this is a conclusion not applicable to all. For one, those people are the ones who were humiliated, were set aside and have struggled. They became very strong and courageous in the process. They are the ones who will come on tough and yes, intimidating. This may be described as a personal flourishing gone wrong but hey who could blame them? They’ve been through hell. With this I also noted that people who grow more humble and nice to the eyes of the supposedly morally upright society are those who received help, who experienced generosity from the environment, not hostility and embarrassment. People are honed by their reflections from their own personal experiences. In a way this is crucial, especially for young people who are just in their formative years, that is to say in their adolescence. They need moral guidance the most. They must not be left unsupervised. These are the times when reprimands and admonishments are most understandable and necessary.
