Celebrities

"Why do we celebrate Celebrities? Here is my theory. To feel human is to feel inconsequential. So we worship celebrities and we try to look like them. All the great things they have done we try to identify with in order to escape our own inconsequential lives. But it is so dumb. With this stream of perfectly airbrushed, imiplanted, and liposuction stars, you would have to be an absolute powerhouse of self esteem already not to feel totally inferior before them. So we worship them because we feel inconsequential, but doing it makes us feel even worse. we make them stars, but then their fame makes us feel insignificant"  Christina Kelly in King's Cross by Timothy Keller
