Entitlement, exceptionalism promoted through media.

This has to do with how we all aspire to be there at the top and no one really knows and appreciates simplicity. Media covers those who are entitled and exceptional in what they do but they romanticize the concept of being up there.

Media shows the beautiful side of these people’s lives. They don’t show how away from simple their lives are. They don’t tell you how abnormally different their lives are to normal people. What seems easy to you, feels like a previlige to them. Like going out with family for shopping without people giving you (irritating) attention. All you want to do is spend some good time with family but that is a luxury for them.

Media makes us all believe that entitlement feels good. But in reality it’s nothing more than a different experience.

An experience away from normality and simplicity. I personally would think a thousand times before bartering my normal lifestyle with anything else. Though even I wish to be exceptional but I don’t want that glam life. I don’t want people hovering around me all day long to get a picture clicked.

All that takes away my simple life. You feel special for a while but after a while this lifestyle is nothing short of an burden. A clear departure from a normal person’s life.

It’s time that we all collectively stop having beautiful view of the life of those at the top. Because it’s nothing better than our lives, just different. Maybe even worse.
