Nice message Peter. I'm neither a "fan" of Swift nor the Kardashians, but I can (and do) respect their success (even if I don't in the least understand the success of the Kardashians). Definitely keeps things in perspective though. They prove that , with a little ingenuity, and a lot of hard work, anyone can find success. And that is a lesson many could stand to learn, as it is far better than lusting after OPM.
Good piece! What I like about Ms. Swift and the Kardashians is that I have the freedom and power to ignore them - not that I have an animus toward them, but, what they do simply doesn’t interest me, or isn’t my taste. To borrow from the old Stone Pony’s (Linda Ronstadt was the lead singer) song from the late 60’s, “Different Drum,” I prefer to march to the beat of a different drum. I rejoice that we have many different choices.
Makes me think of Jesus' statement that you can't serve both God and money and Paul's statement that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. I can respect people who work hard and smart for their money. I can pity people for whom their lives are all about the money and nothing else. Having worked in a sales office, those workplaces seem to attract far more than their share of this kind of person.
