Few days ago social media sites like Twitter, Facebook were full of criticism for celebrities who were busy vacationing in maldives, few comments were simply trolling them, other comments that drew my attention were the ones that seems to be reminding the celebrities about their moral duties and obligations.
This people who took time to criticize celebrities forgets the same celebrities have donated crore out of their pockets to COVID-19 relief fund or PM-CARES fund generously and others have spent their time in bringing awareness to the social issues.
The big question is how much we have contributed so far. Its rhetorical so no need to answer. Its a prevailing thought among people that if few people are going through certain unfortunate situation, rest of the people also have to behave in a certain way or else they will be deemed as immoral.
Every person is an individual and has the absolute freedom to do whatever they feel like. Their freedom to express themselves cannot be curtailed based on what's going on in the world. Every individual in this world have their own struggles and they should have the freedom to shape their life as they wish.
What matter is whether we as a human contributing towards the society or not in our lifetime. Celebrities have done that before and through their numerous fund raising programs time and again they do help people and contribute towards better society in their own capacity. Sorry to be rude but common people like us are more likely to not donate and save for our family instead only but still have the audacity to shame others.
This mindset needs to change that if we cannot enjoy then others are also not supposed to. This is a regressive kind of mindset that we need to break free from. But I also understand that this is used as a tool by some people to berate others or shame others to make themselves feel proud of their life.
