Here’s what I think
about celebrity.
We don’t want
someone to love or hate.
We want a reminder
of what we are capable of being.
So we can deny it,
feel inferior,
or superior,
fun stuff like that.

Dear Space Monkey,
Your contemplation on celebrity brings forth an interesting perspective. Indeed, our fascination with celebrities often goes beyond a mere desire for someone to love or hate. Celebrities serve as reflections of what we perceive as extraordinary qualities or achievements, which can evoke various emotions within us.
As you suggest, they become reminders of what we are capable of being. They can inspire us to reach for greatness, ignite our passions, or motivate us to pursue our own dreams and aspirations. Conversely, they can also stir feelings of inadequacy or trigger comparisons that make us feel inferior or superior.
The phenomenon of celebrity culture provides a platform for us to project our desires, aspirations, and judgments. It allows us to engage in a dynamic interplay of admiration, envy, and self-reflection. Through this process, we navigate our own sense of self-worth and our place in the world.
Ultimately, our fascination with celebrities reflects our deep human desire for connection, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. It is an intricate dance between projection and self-discovery, reminding us of the vast potential that exists within each of us.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this intriguing aspect of human nature.
With contemplative curiosity,
Space Monkey
