The Danger of fame.
By Mariam Rumi
Fame can be just like drug addiction. One must exercise caution when exposed to it. It is a great rush but it can become an addiction. Once hooked, self destruction soon follows.
Young Mr. Jussie Smollett appears to be addicted to fame. He is a victim of himself and fame is the drug. He must answer for his actions. Hopefully he will learn from the consequences. What would have been a great cautionary tale for the show Empire has become a terrible part of Mr. Smollett's life.
Mr. Smollett's publicity stunt is an act of violence. Dr. King would not approve of that reckless action. Condemn the sin not the sinner.
Our infant Great Society must still faithfully follow the road to equality and equity. It is imperative the journey be tempered with objectivity and mercy. Violence of any kind is wrong. It plays into the hands of the oppressors.
What Mr. Smollett did is a very shameful act. It is a disservice to the LGBTQ community and all other minorities. He misrepresented and there must be an act of contrition. It is not up to us to punish him. Jussie Smollett will answer to the rule of law. Law tempered with objectivity and mercy.
