Society's Role Models

We have so many role models in society. You can choose from so many with such a different variety. There are musicians, writers, actors, athletes, and so many more out there. But the people we choose today, I don't get, I swear. Some of these people's minds must be playing hooky. With all the great people out there some people choose Snooki. We choose people just because they are millionaires. It seems like in today's society nobody cares. On facebook, Charles Manson has 20,000 friends. I don't get these people or today's trends. He was a cult leader and murder for crying out loud. But a role model to some and they say it proud. Some people say it is O.J. Simpson when he was a football player. Okay, but now he is a murderer, but I won't be a naysayer. There are so many more I don't understand, but I won't even bother. I will just be puzzled and look up to mine, because mine is my father.

The pickings a slim when it comes to role models. The bad asses get all the publicity and the media turns them into heroes. We are on a downhill spiral. Vince

Interesting write. An excellent last line! Fame and money might be some people's gods, but integrity is worth FAR MORE than those shallow things. Regards, Robert.
