Glorifying the dark sides!

          Recently Tiger Woods rammed his car in to a fire hydrant which generally helps in taming the fire. This hydrant lit his entire life on fire. It led to an eruption of the dark side of his personal life out in public. Why is that the entire media (TMZ is in the front) after this dude? So what if he has done mistakes in his personal life, so what he is horrible in bed (according to some lady)....does it change the fact that He is the top golfer in the world and not TMZ?
          I know a whole bunch of people who say "These are role models for the kids and other young men and women, so they need to be careful about their actions". As far as I know, I am still to find a perfect person in the world. You make a person ikon or idol based on their performance in a particular field. I will ask two questions to these media freaks:
  1. Did you not ever speed even 1 mph over the speed limit? I am not asking about if you have been ticketed, because on many of the occasions, the person who gets caught is a criminal the one who doesn't is not.
  2. Can this bunch of media who live vulture's life off of corpses of celebrity lives, point at a one person in the world who is famous and has absolutely no baggage?
The answer to both the questions  is a big "NO". The media has infiltrated so much in our community that they have a great deal of responsibility of shaping our culture. I have seen so many examples in the recent times that were solely aiming at glorification of the dark sides of the personalities.
  1. Tiger Woods and his extra-marital affairs (let her wife decides what she wants to do)
  2. Mike Phelps smoking pot in his teenage years
  3. Obama's drug addiction in his college days
 We need to cherish the better part of the people's life to present it as a ideal for the people. Take the best out of everyone. The vulture instinct of media gives a boost to morons who like a fame out of 10 minutes of stupidity (great example is the White House gate crashers- Mr and Mrs Salahi).

Every coin has two sides. It is your decision to what to look at the heads or tales. Who knows, what you glorified in other's lives, may come back and glorify something in your life.....but it will be too late then!

May God Bless our Media!
