2000 years ago, the Religious Leadership convicted and the Romans hung a man on a cross. The man was a teacher of love, honesty, respect, hope and kindness.  What was his crime?  He was too different?  He dared try and convince the people to "Love thy neighbor as thyself"!

He was scorned and scoffed at, laughed at and ridiculed as he died.  He was famous....there had to be something wrong with him.  Ages later...the Davinci Code dug up some dirt on this guy. It is for sure that someone out there is looking for more dirt! 

Famous people live and die but I don't think that even one has ever escaped unblemished. Women are usually called whores to some degree because of multiple marriages or nude appearances.  Men are usually accused of being bi-sexual, perverts or run of the mill Hollywood orgy participants.

Why do we even care about the personal lives of famous people?  We don't know them?  I am sure that if we sat and had a conversation with Farrah Fawcett ....we would walk away with an amazingly different perspective. Perhaps we would see a little bit of who her husband fell in love with?  Maybe we would find that they feel as lost as we are when it comes to the ways of the world.

"The face of God is in every child" sounds like something Jesus would say.  It is a quote from Michael Jackson.  Why is it that we want to murder the tender and different spirits of the world.  We want them to be nasty....we want them to be trash....we want them to fall so we can laugh and kick their souls to the gutter of gossip.

The worst feeling in the world is to be accused of something that you are not guilty of. When it becomes public....many of the people could care less if you are found innocent....they still see you as guilty in their ignorant mindset. 

We gather on the hills of the media to condemn and hang famous people on invisible crosses.  We call them names....we read the trashy  half truths of their lives.....we mind punch them off their pedestals and claim a victory unto our jealous hearts.

Perhaps it is not they that change by walking into fame? It could be that we perceive them as typical through the eyes of a media manipulation.  We make them gods and then do our best to de-throne them.

It is time to put away the terms such as Stars...the Divas...the gods and the Icons.  They are people with special talents.....they worked hard to gain those talents.....that's all.  We can admire and respect their craft....yet....we need to look at them instead of up at them.  A famous tear falls the same as any tear.

Take them down from invisible crosses and let them rest...in...peace.
