How the Media Drove Brittany Spears Crazy

"Brittany Spears Commits Suicide" will be the headline in the near future. I get it. I understand that there is nothing more dramatic than loving a public figure and then having a media frenzy when that media darling falls from grace. However, we are talking about an immature young woman whom was given a ridiculous set of circumstances to deal with and has dealt with those circumstances as most young adults would - by going out of control with her behavior. When you can buy and do anything you want without the restraints of a mature perspective, you go hog wild because you have nothing to compare it to. Brittany has been surrounded by people who told her she is more beautiful, more amazing, more special than 99.9% of the earth. That kind of thing goes to a person's head. She doesn't understand that she has been lied to. She believes that she is more beautiful, more amazing, more special than 99.9% of the earth and hen goes on MTV, gets laughed at and she can't understand what went wrong.

We are fascinated by the lynch mentality. We love to destroy what we can not have. When we envy too much we seek to destroy that with which we wish we could have or do or be. Brittany puts on weight, the world loves to poke fun. We get extrodinarily happy that she has to be average just like us. She already is average. She never was anything but average. Brittany loses rights over her children, the world eats it up as if her ex husband will provide a great environment for the kids. Brittany obviously has had some mental difficulties as of lately. She has shaved her hair, went to counseling for a myriad of problems, etc. Who wouldn't have difficulty with hundred of millions of dollars, no restraint, the public mocks you, the courts take away your children, the media hound your every move looking to emberrass you with the next big break out photo. This is not a normal life. This poor sad young woman is living a distorted reality and is having great difficulty making rational decisions.

And we love it. The media provides all the vultures with the fresh kill and the world circles around and feasts on the kill. It might sound bizzare, but I am truly concerned for this person. She is human. Where is our common decency of caring for another human being? Is it really necessary for her to commit suicide for us to get our fill? This young woman needs to take herself out of the lime light for a few years, get back to some every day perspective, surround herself with people who tell her the truth, she is just an average person that got to be part of some amazing experiences.

Is it possible for us to leave her alone. How much suffering does one person have to do before they are allowed to have some peace. Must we have death to enjoy the show? Anna Nicole is a perfect example of an average life gone horribly Hollywood.
