Joan Rivers is considered a beloved comedian by many Americans. Early on the name Joan Rivers became a worldwide sensation. Obviously in the world of modern social media any death of a celebrity becomes exponentially inflated in a very short time. In our pursuit of self actualization, I ask what good will it do to pay reverent homage and vigil for a celebrity when real people die every day right in your community?
I was on the treadmill the other day down at the fitness center. Low and behold on my news channel they were talking about an investigation into the outpatient care Joan Rivers was getting. This is crap and I wanted to wretch all over the treadmill! How low and pathetic to inflate a celebrity death into some kind of martyr ritual or cause for kind and compassionate care. It was inconceivable to me that the reporters and guests continued without shame or hesitation in the name of "reporting the news".
The woman is dead! Yet, because of her money we now raise her to a more worthy status. Thereby, invoking sainthood upon this woman will bring validity and authenticity to the sufferings of millions in similar outpatient care.
It's just crap the direction we've taken. Just crap!
