It seems like every where you look these days, there is some kind of cheating scandal in the news. Men are using the excuse that they are addicted to sex in order to try to take the blame anyway from their actions. As long as they recognize that they have a problem and they are trying to get help for it, it is supposed to be overlooked. The fact is that these men don't had a sex addiction, they just have no morals.
When you can a mistake, the best thing that you can do is admit your fault and deal with the consequences. Blaming your actions on others or addiction is the easy way out. Since many of these men are in the spotlight, they feel that admitting their faults will only cause them more trouble. The problem is that most level headed people know the truth.
It not only sex addiction that is the problem. Celebrity are constantly in and out of rehab for drugs and alcohol. It's obvious that many of them don't need treatment, they just need to behave. Many times when a celebrity is caught drinking and drinking or using drugs, they immediately go into rehab. This is their way of saying, I have a problem and need help. The reason they do it , is because they think that their fans may stay true to them if they are trying to get better. Most likely, it's just an excuse to blame the drug and not themselves.

Yes, yes, yes, what you say is true. I couldn’t agree more. There is a huge moral dilemma involving celebrities and athletes. Another side of the story is how much attention they receive from the public. I feel as though if America wasn’t so obsessed with celebrity status there would be no need for these types of “addictions” to arise. It is hard for me to pity a celebrity or to pass judgment. I feel like this type of sympathy should be restrained for those who know the person. I have always felt awkward about hearing an apology or a confession from a figure of authority or celebrity. Firstly, I don’t need their apology because I have not been affected. There is also the fact that they are diverting attention from where it should be. They should focus on the injustice and not the public opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt is as though the relationship from viewer to celebrity actually exists in these moments when it truly does not. It is our job has family members to remind our young ones to hold little stock in the entertainment industry. If our children were not so obsessed with idols, these idols would not need to defend themselves by lying. It is a closed circle argument. This is one where we need to detach from the norm, refuse apologies unless they are derived toward the victim, and remove ourselves from the celebrity craze.
