On People Who Speak Ill of Celebrities
Recently, while chatting with friends at a café, the topic of people who frequently criticize celebrities came up. I could understand his perspective, and I definitely felt a bit sorry for them. It’s natural to dislike certain individuals, but
being so obsessed with it seems a bit odd. For instance, there are people who complain about Ichiro’s performance, saying things like, “His stats aren’t impressive.” I can’t help but wonder if they feel embarrassed saying such things. After all, Ichiro is an incredible figure in both Japanese baseball and the world. Ignoring his hard work and achievements just to spread negativity raises questions about their mindset.
A Funny Exchange
The other day, I was watching a comedy show on TV where a comedian said, “Anyone can speak ill of celebrities, but have you ever thought about what that says about you?” I couldn’t help but laugh. It’s true; it’s easy to criticize, but having a solid opinion about things is important. At that moment, I found myself nodding in agreement. This reminded me of a time when I went out for drinks with friends. One of them mentioned a celebrity, saying, “That person is probably doing bad things behind the scenes.” Everyone around chimed in with, “Then what are you doing?” and the atmosphere lightened up. He fell silent for a moment, but then laughed it off, saying, “Well, that’s true.” At that moment, I thought that even those who speak ill of others need to step back and reflect on themselves.
Final Thoughts
In the end, I feel a bit sorry for people who criticize celebrities, and I wish they would focus on more positive topics. As a parent myself, I want to teach my children about good things rather than negativity. If you’ve had similar experiences, I’d love for you to share them in the comments! I’m curious about your thoughts and how you dealt with it!
