Okay well yesterday I said that it is bad to obsess about celebrities. I still find this to be true. BUT, there is always a grey area. There is a difference between OBSESSION and IDOLIZING.
Obsession is a sort of mindless thing in my opinion. Obsession is looking at someone and spending way too much time trying to be like them, loving them, trying to get into their lives, or having sex with them. The list of things could go on but you get the point. Obsession is negative because it consumes you and can in turn alter the person you are obsessing about.
Idolizing someone is different. I idolize people. I am interested in their inspiration to pursue what ever they are doing (Not every aspect of their personal life) and I would like to meet them (not for an autograph) to just talk to them. These are people who I think are good people and have a good message. NOT people who are beautiful, sexy, skinny, or whatever.
It is good to idolize someone because you can idolize people who you agree with, thus fermenting your opinions. For example, if you are a strong believer of a religion and you idolize (not obsess over) someone who follows that religion you can get inspiration to continue to pursue something you agree with.
Who is your idol?
