When celebrities tax their goodwill
It is true that no man begged to come to this world, but fighting to remain alive is an obligation that comes with earthly responsibilities. No matter how we choose to look at it, these responsibilities demand that we live, not just for ourselves, but for others, including the Creator, that we may serve Him until such a time when it pleases Him to call us home.
We pay to see movies in cinemas; we pay to enjoy music at concerts, even when we are not paying, some companies are paying as part of their social responsibility projects. No doubt, we enjoy the movies, the music, and football. We have created a fan base for you among ourselves. We have even made role models of you, sometimes for the wrong reasons. Our children idolize you, they scramble for selfies and autographs at the sight of you.
The carry-over effect is that when these celebrities suffer personal losses, they still expect government or the public to pay damages. Whatever happens to their salaries, allowances and personal savings… I thought they say that a man drowning does not care who saves him. We must fight to stay alive, even if it requires begging. Begging to ‘live’ is different from begging to ‘feed’; only God gives both, but the former no man can boast of, so there is no shame in asking.
