Ok so I hardly ever blog….we all know this and one thing that I really never do on a blog is state my position on something but I guess I am feeling bold tonight.
After reading all these news stories on Kanye West and watching his interview I just had some opinions that I wanted to share.
Kanye is no worse than any of us. He is a person who is hurting and trying to soothe the pain he carries. And, what does a person who is hurting usually do, they hurt the people around them. They are desperately longing to be seen. To be really seen, and waiting for someone to enter into the pain. After seeing the Leno interview my heart went out to him. He has never gone through the mourning process and therefore he eases his hurt by hurting other people to ease the pain. I am not saying what he did was right(or any of his other incidents), it was wrong (though the right or wrong issue is not the point of this blog post).
But, I want to leave you with these thought….if your every move was being televised, written about, and played for the world to see, how would people view you?
Would you want them to be forgiving, loving, caring, or would you want them to just write you off, call you names, and treat you like an outcast?
Why are we so obsessed with lives of celebrities? Aren’t they just suppose to make good movies, plays , and music? Why has today’s culture made people in the public eye give up their right to have private lives, to make mistakes, to learn, to find grace and redemption. I know I wouldn’t want my sins displayed for the world to see, or have to pretend that I am perfect all the time, because I am not I fall short.
I think it was an eye opening moment in how I should love people. I don’t have to agree with what they do or how they live, but let them know whose love I strive to represent. There are many people out there who are carrying around so many burdens and they lash out. What if the lashing out was just them crying out? I am gonna think about that you should too….goodnight
