How do you respond looking at glamour models, especially if you are female? What is your favorite part, the dress she is wearing or is it the plastic surgery she may have gotten recently and the fact that her body on the cover of a local magazine has been airbrushed to perfection?
It seems we use these so-called \’Icons\’ as a strange mix: as a source, for lack of a better term, the latest fashions and all the details this entails; and as a source of criticism that reassures us that the subjects of these pictures are human beings like us.
It really is a strange, superficial way to try fill the emptiness. One can even think of it as the poor man\’s form of psycho-analysis and this is his or rather her way of transferring a need or weakness onto the model in any given picture and the story behind that particular picture or group of pictures. Thus he/she sees their weaknesses in the subject and in return can reverse transfer the strengths of the subject in the picture onto him/herself. It can be a rather painful feeling if we are honest and see our weaknesses in the celebrity behold but not their strengths and good or great characteristics in ourselves.
This would also require much self criticism as well and enough honesty to admit and see this. If all we can do is criticize the subject in the picture, then in truth we are saying, \’Look at this \’perfect\’ human being, who has problems and experienced obstacles just like me and was still able to transcend these obstacles and overcome them.
In the end it\’s all about right choices. We can accept our mediocre and normal lives and see only this in the lives of those who have achieved and a simple coping mechanism or a crutch and thus we would not have to do any actual work.
We can accept what we see as a pathetic existence and slowly fade away into oblivion, occasionally seeing someone who actually put some effort into doing something with their lives fall and get our empty joy from this like some gutless wonder and armchair achiever.
This path is, of course the easy way out, the \’house built on sand\’ so to speak and thus will be of no use to us in the long run because of the total lack of effort but in to it from ourselves will derive us no benefit whatsoever. The other path requires much more effort. It requires using the achievements and life of the celebrity in the picture as a personal challenge to recognize that you as a human being have your own talents and if you are to improve your life and fulfill your destiny you must find a way to bring these talents into your \’reality\’ in some sort of useful and productive way. This should be done not only for your own good as an individual but also for the good of the society that you live and exist in.
