I Am Confused By Celebrity Worship

This is interesting to think about.
Have you ever asked for a construction worker or farmer to give you their autograph?
Have you ever been eager to take a selfie with a street sweeper for working so hard to keep the streets clean?
Where would we be without construction workers?
Where would we be without harvesters?
Where would we be without sanitary staff that keeps our environments clean for us to avoid sickness and pestilence?
Yet these people make nickels compared to the adults who are phenomenal at playing pretend.
There are entire multi-million dollar industries where boxers and fighters make hundreds of millions of dollars for one fight, with fans worshipping and going crazy for them.
And yet the one who built the T.V., the couch you’re sitting in, your home, and the harvester of the food you are eating are non-existent, are not even admired for their occupations.
Be a doctor, be a lawyer, be an actor, a singer, an artist.
If they keep this up, we will be a land of people dancing and singing in dirty streets without shelter.
Until people celebrate the construction workers, farmers, electricians, on the same level as police officers, fire fighters, doctors, and lawyers.
Until people realize that praising someone for giving an appearance on TV deserves gratitude but not any more than the fire fighter, lawyer, and most definitely construction workers and farmers then we have it all backwards.
Many occupations are the backbone to our society, and yet they are overlooked, for paper, money reasons.
Let’s think, and maybe next time you see a construction worker you will want to get their autograph and take a selfie with them.
