Stop worshiping celebrities!


Why is everyone still mourning her death? Because she was a celebrity? If she was just a regular stranger would you care then? I don't think so!

Such a simpleminded society! ๐Ÿ‘ถ

Thanks for a simpleminded comment. Yes, if we didn't know who she was we wouldn't care about her death. Brilliant!

Ok I take it you're young..I'm sure there is some celebrity out there that you have grown up with that will give you that "oh wow!" feeling when they die..I remember being young and my mother feeling so sad when Vivian Leigh died..I thought why? You don't even know her but as I grow older (58) I completely get it..

Maybe "mourning" her is, for me, too strong a term; but I do feel a sense of loss. When you get older and you read some Gay porn actor died of AIDS, you'll know the feeling.

Why should I care about the death of some random person? Millions of people die every day.

Mary Tyler Moore had fans. She was a celebrity. A "regular stranger" does not have fans.

That's a great strategy to avoid dealing with grief over the loss of people you are not friends with or related to for the rest of your life. It is possible that a person can touch our lives without even knowing it and without even knowing us. Mary Tyler Moore was one such person to many, many people.
