I was reading some articles or news about some celebrities adopting kids, donating millions to charity. So how should I view this? Was left wondering if I should think - What's so great if Madonna adopts a kid? I am sure she has a caretaker....What's magnanimous about another celebrity donating millions to charity? They anyway make millions, don't they?
Or should I be thinking - They are giving back to society that made them what they are today. This is amazing?
Then I rationalised. Madonna or Angelina or Sachin Tendulkar are as human as each one of us; when it comes to emotion or feelings. They surely would have a perspective or a view towards society and their contribution as co-occupants in it.
It is just that the bright lights of the media and their glamorised lives have blinded us to their human side.
What about the countless people among us; mere mortals if you want to call so, who donate to charity within their limited monetary capacities, or adopt an orphan into their family? Am I even aware of these people? Do I stop and acknowledge their contributions? These are probably the unsung heroes within us.
So its best left when everyone & anyone is treated for what their inner human self does or calls for. Maybe I shouldn't be reading too much into their status in society but take an objective look at what they are actually doing.
