You Don't KNOW Them!

I've done it, and many people have, so this criticism is aimed at myself as much as anyone else.

These strangers, celebrities, musicians, sports stars, podcasters and other famous pricks who entertain you...

You don't KNOW them!

You might know the people you work with, or go to school with, your friends, your family, people in your community that you experience life with. You might know them.

You don't know these strangers.

It makes no sense to defend them, or love them, or look at them as examples to aspire to. They could be good people, they could be horrible. You don't know them, they're not your friends.

Sometimes I catch myself defending these people, but they're unknown to me. I advocate for devils a lot. That's silliness. We can gather some facts if we so chose, but we are addressing a public persona. We don't know these personae as people.

I'm being fooled and will get fooled again.
