About people who are celebrity obsessed…
People who are star-struck (celebrity obsessed) are an example of those whose values may not be anchored in principles. Popularity shapes their moral center. They don’t know who they are and don’t know which way ‘north’ is. They don’t know what principles to follow because their lives are based on social values. They are torn between social awareness and self-awareness on the one hand and natural laws and principles on the other.
on visions…
Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Memory is past. It is finite. Vision is future. It is infinite. Vision is greater than history, greater than baggage, greater than the emotions of the past. When somebody asked Einstein what question he would ask God if he could ask one, he replied, “How did the universe? Because everything after that is just maths”. And after thinking for a while, he changed his mind. He said, “Instead I would ask, “Why was the universe created?” Because then I would know the meaning of my own life.”
