I dislike the term “star” as used to describe people paid to be in front of a camera, whether that camera be filming for hollywood or for porn.
The stars is something you shoot for, and with how damaged, deranged, drugged, drunk, depressed, and driven to suicide the “stars” are – why would you want to be like them?
There is more to the world than fame and fortune.
Hollywood style fame and fortune – at what cost?
I’ve been in a gas station/convenience store in line behind a “big name” male porn actor.
He and the camera man with him, they both looked and sounded – desouled, dead inside, no life in their eyes, and broken. They were possibly high.
This actually makes sense to me now, though it may take some deep thought as to why – they sounded “pussy whipped”.
(Do you think there is respect of his masculinity by the girl? It’s an act – they’re actors. All parties involved are in sin.)
There is a better term than the colloquial “star” which boiled down is a hijacking of the phrase “shoot for the stars”.
“Shoot for the stars” is to aim for greatness. Aiming to be a “star” in the hollywood or porn sense is anything but.
There’s a lot of misuse of language like that.
(I’ve been able to intuit this since watching pro wrestling in middle school where everyone was called a “superstar”.)
Use a dictionary definition, instead of calling them “stars”, call them what they are – actors.
The ancients despised actors.
Rightly so, with the ancient’s thought being “if their vocation is to pretend personalities and fool their audiences with it – they are not to be trusted”.
Meditation on this view does a lot to deflate one’s view of “celebrity/celebrities”, and here too one must go to the dictionary…
What of them is worthy of celebration?
Only the spiritually sick idolize (idolize – check the implication of that definition) actors.
Spectation, and it’s inherent idleness is sin.
To you? Action is all that exists.
