WHY

Why do we view these humans, normal people, as celebrities and princesses? Why is their mere presence an honor?

I'm not completely bashing celebrities because some famous people are FAMOUS for a reason. It's the ones that aren't, or aren't famous for anything worthy (opinion obviously) that it's a shame.

But is it our fault? Yes and no. We are fed news about these people every day, multiple times a day. When you're in the grocery store you see magazine upon magazine with gossip and stories on these people. Their lives are our lives and we indulge in their lives. We want their lives and we read to try to grab on to one little tiny bit of being rich and famous. Now I say yes and no for a couple reasons, one is... someone is making these, and they continue to make them because we continue to read them and eat them up.

It's always been that most people want what they can't have. Not necessarily everything, but there is one thing that you wish you had or wish you were that you aren't, and these people are. And so that's where I say this princess ideal has expanded so much because it's the same ideal of envy and lust of a life you don't have and a person you're not, it's just in a different light.
