THE LEGEND THAT WAS MJ!
MJ is no more and this critical, scrutinizing world will never be the same any more!
Despite the headlines he made for wrong reasons, we all love Michael Jackson for many of his immortal songs, his dance skills and his genuine attempt to make the world "a better place for you and for me and the entire human race".
But going beyond his flaws and fame, we need to introspect about the way we look at celebrities and their lives. Are celebrities undeserving of privacy? Are they pawns at the hand of the prying public? Do we have the right to investigate into people's lives recklessly without heed to their personal choices, their sensitivities and preferences? Can we sit on judgement as if we are walking epitomes of moral perfection?
Questions abound and I suspect I will never find their answers. And the madness of the paparazzi shall rule roost.
Alas, the helpless multitudes feed on the hunted preys of the media-eagles!
May MJ throb in our hearts through the memorable songs he created for us!
