It's vanity fair

I haven't watched the Oscar's for quite some time. When I watched in the past it wasn't to see who wins, but to instead have that moment of "I wish I could be them for just one day". If we are honest with ourselves we know we've all done that.

This morning, this is the buzz on social media that caught my attention. An exchange between Hugh Grant and Ashley Graham. Some say it was rude. Some say it was called for. He said to her in a flippant tone: "All of humanity is here. It's vanity fair". 

His jab at the industry that he has gained fame from is to me the beginning of what many in that class of people will start doing over the next while. The same will take place with athletes that receive excess amounts of money for their skills. We treat them like animals in a zoo. Caged for our entertainment. 

As more and more people accept that our purpose here is to find our soul and then help others to find theirs, the spotlight on vanity will grow dimmer. May I ask why we need filters to make us look glamourous or look like a teenager? To distract us from what we are supposed to be doing?

We aren't giving our own life a decent chance. When the "others" go home after the red carpet or their sport event, they are an imperfect human, just like you and me. The difference is that they get to be an imperfect human with fame as an added ball and chain for our amusement. 

I see a weariness happening by those that watch the famous and those that are being watched. Truthfully, it is an inevitable part of us evolving into what we're actually here for. I'm happy that I get to witness it!   :-)  <3
