In today’s world we are faced daily with various celebrities flinging their influence in our faces.

Everywhere you turn, from TV to social media, some VIP is telling us what to buy, what to eat, what kind of medicine to take, what kind of insurance to buy, what to wear, and even telling us to vote, sometimes even who to vote for. Have we stopped thinking for ourselves?

I’m not going to mention any names, but if we want a reverse mortgage, we’ll get one. If we want to try a certain diet and the foods included with it, we’ll try it. If we want or need insurance for a car or home, we’ll get it, but only if that particular insurance is available in our area. If we want to get vaccinated, we will. If we want to register to vote or vote in general, we’ll do it. Same goes for if we don’t want any of the above. We don’t need someone to tell us what or what not to do.

And why should anyone care if said celebrities want to or not want to do any of those things themselves? Simply because you do or don’t? That’s their business, just as it is yours.
