Celebrities and Their Constant Flights From Reality.


Robin Williams is once again at a rehab facility. But guess what? This time, he is said to be "fine-tuning” his sobriety. For God’s sake, when did a man's body start needing "fine-tuning" like an automobile? Who does the man think he is deceiving? 

Why do most celebrities often consider themselves as superhuman, beyond the usual problems that everyone else is confronted with? What makes them think they are supposed to be immune to human tribulations? And are they more human than the rest of us just because they do some “make-believe” stuff in movies or sing some songs on records?

Otherwise, why will a whole lot of celebrities resort ignorantly and continually to heroin, crack cocaine, weeds and other crazy substances? Unfortunately for the stupid celebrities, drug abuses can only keep them "high" for a short period of time. Those of them who try to go on "long trips" from reality always end up overdosing and waking up in the world beyond.

Personally, this is all the more reason why I keep thanking God every waking moment for my normal life. Mine is a life filled with reality…the good, the bad and the ugly sides of life. Come to think of it, without these realities there was no way I could have grown wise and confident enough to call myself a man, a husband and a parent!
