Personal Responsibility

I normally do not pay much attention to the happenings of Hollywood, especially that of socialites like Paris Hilton. But I am almost blue in the face over hearing of her latest debacle. There is a little something in this world known as personal responsibility. It is not up to your mom, dad or PUBLICIST to take responsibility for your actions. I think that so many people today live without consequences that they have developed a skewed vision of the way the world really works. So Paris it is not cruel or inhumane to send you to jail for breaking the law. That is what happens to criminals. That is why we have the judicial system in the first place, to protect innocent people from the asinine and harmful decisions of others. It is not the universe’s or the judge’ s or the lawyer’s fault that you live with the notion that you are untouchable. So get your head out of the clouds come back down to earth and realize that things you say and do have repercussions.

Honestly it is probably not the fact that it is Paris Hilton that makes me so mad, rather the realization that  people live their lives like this everyday. Walking around not realizing that what they say and do has an impact on themselves and very often other people.
