Celestine’s story is based on a reality we sadly see on a daily basis… people who forget who they are just to be who others want them to be.<br />Fame and power are addictive, same as alcohol, drugs or any other substance.. I believe we can always turn back the clock, the choice is ours. We need to defeat the fear of the unknown, we need to believe in ourselves.<br />What is fame if it takes away our happiness? Does power justify the non realization of the self?<br />Do we really want to pay that high prize for power and fame?<br /><br />Power and fame are just delusions and traps of our ego to distract us from living life. We should always keep that in mind…<br /><br />loveNlight<br />GabiGabriela Abalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316879938383542026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974114391557983994.post-66298770249833877942010-03-28T04:57:05.013+02:002010-03-28T04:57:05.013+02:00Hi Gabi, I thought I would do as you suggested and...Hi Gabi, I thought I would do as you suggested and read some your older posts. I'm touched by Celestine's story. I know that in similar circumstance I would take the path she took because i am not immune to adulation. As Celestine did I might come to regret that decision and long for the simpler times at the beginning. The question I have is how do we turn back the clock. But fame can be fleeting. Yesterday's star is just tomorrow's trivia answer. And in that renewed anonymity there maybe a chance to begin again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533184345345882921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974114391557983994.post-87529448319436313652009-06-29T15:23:19.332+02:002009-06-29T15:23:19.332+02:00What it is so sad about Celestine’s story is that ...What it is so sad about Celestine’s story is that she represents many of the people we idolize. We often see only the external picture: money, power, fame, etc, instead of seeing “who they really are”.<br />Many of them are not happy at all but they rather keep faking it that accepting the truth.<br />We do not like to see them as normal human beings, we prefer to think they belong to the super human, the one we all want to become one day! So we refuse to accept anything that spoil us that dream.<br />Poor Celestine and poor us…Gabriela Abalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316879938383542026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974114391557983994.post-43861055611717194482009-06-24T10:40:23.247+02:002009-06-24T10:40:23.247+02:00As i was reading the story i thought poor Celestin...As i was reading the story i thought poor Celestine but then i realised it's actually poor us! So many of us are her,giving up so much of ourselves for what we think will make us happy but then it doesn't and we're too scared to go back because we'll lose it all!!<br /><br />So the question is "mirror, mirror on the wall, do i see the real me or a fading reminder of the me i was..."<br /><br />Take off the masks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337675852638500043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974114391557983994.post-90877472322196244672009-06-24T09:33:32.988+02:002009-06-24T09:33:32.988+02:00well this is a sad thing, but unfortunately it is ...well this is a sad thing, but unfortunately it is true for many people.<br />My take on this is that; let the internal define your external. If you let the world define you, your real you will not come out and you will have a sad life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
