Idollsing Celebrities Goes Too Far

 

Celebrity² worship has been identified as one of the most common forms of idolatry these days, However, many fans go too far with pursuing stars. Some have facial plastic surgery just to look a little more like the star they worship. Others even pay all their money to see the stars in person. I personally hold that blindly worshipping famous people should be deterred³ from becoming rampant⁴.

 

Due to daily gossip columns in the tabloids⁵ and the ubiquitous celebrity news in the media, researchers report that about one third of people suffer from Celebrity Worship Syndrome⁶, an actual syndrome that can become obsessional⁷, replacing conventional relations, Some fans of famous people tend to indulge ins daydreaming⁸ about stars they worship. Having less communication with their friends and families, some obsessed⁹ fans ignore conventional relations, leading to psychological problems or disorders¹⁰. Blind worship undermines young people's spiritual pursuits in real art, literature, philosophy, and science, without which they can hardly hold the sacred torch of civilization transferred to them from preceding generations. It is no exaggeration to say that blind star-worship will probably lead young people whose discretion¹¹ is not enough into abysmal¹² darkness, and thus buried with them is the hope of the future.

 

In conclusion, given the above harmful effects of blind star-worship, every effort must be made to help fans to get out of the hopeless swamp of star-worship. (231 words)
