Charlie Sheen has been in the spotlight for most to all of his life. His father being a famous movie star at a young age, he is no stranger to the Hollywood scene. Lately Charlie Sheen has gone through a lot of stuff in front of our eyes, but is he just being himself or is he spiraling out of control to the end of his career? The news story Charlie Sheen being himself would not be a very interesting but spiraling out of control, now that's money. He has never been a stranger to being controversial. Wasn't it only several years ago that he was named as a client in Heidi Fleiss's Prostitution Scandal. For goodness sake, he plays a drunk and somewhat selfish rich guy on Two and a Half Men.
Is he crazy? Is he a drug addict? Is he a famous, rich, TV and Movie Star? A drug test showed that he doesn't have any drugs in his body. Boy, that must have really disappointed the media frenzy, but, oh wait, there is always that crazy angle. One thing for sure, he is rich and famous. That is the reason why he has any problems right now. We are interested in him because he is a celebrity and we want to see them fall. I have been watching the news clips and although he seems a little manic it does not mean that he can not handle his responsibilities. In the real world, people live in various forms of "normal" and they do just fine. They raise their kids and work their jobs and pay their bills. He is no different. He just has a couple of more million in his bank account and people that are interested in his life. He lives his life the way he wants to live and he doesn't make any excuses for it. Is he supposed to be a role model? He is an actor and he is rich. He should have a life that many do not have.
He seems to be more real now then he has ever been in his life. He works hard and he plays hard. How many of us do the same thing? The media love to throw us the tragedy of his life or the most interesting part of his life so they can get the people to watch their shows and get the big ratings. They are the only reason why he might have to worry about his career but really, does he? He has been famous all his life and he will continue to work and be rich for the rest of his life. He is not a young man and he will be quite fine. Mel Gibson is still working and we all know his problems too.
I watched the tape of his kids being taken away from him, by cops, at his kid's bedtime. Wow! What do you think is worse for the kids? Being stripped from their father by strangers or living in their father's house? Well lets think about this in his life not personalize it to our lives. This is Charlie Sheen. Do you really think that he is all alone with his kids and just getting crazy with them in harms way. Charlie Sheen is rich, he has a support network of people from housekeepers to nannies taking care of various areas of his household including his kids. They are safer then most families in the world, not to mention that he probably has security systems up the wazoo that protect the rest. This is just a soon to be ex-wife power play to keep control over Charlie Sheen because we only care about her because of him. The one that controls the kids controls the Sheen. This is all ridiculous.
Charlie Sheen should be applauded by the masses for being real in a society that works hard to be fake. We have this Utopia idea that people are very normal and only a few are crazy. We hide our true feelings so that we can be a part of society and not have anybody look at us differently. There are many bad things in our civilized world but there are good things too. We need to stop trying to follow some "status quo" and be ourselves. We love, we hate, we do good, we make mistakes, we are prejudice, and we are compassionate. It does not make us evil to have different ideas it makes us individuals. It does not make us evil to not be perfect. No one is perfect! We all live in a grey area of life, things are not all black and white or bad and good. The definitions of those previous terms change from person to person. We are animals with a brain that is all. We can choose what way we want our lives to be within the walls of Law or not, always excepting the consequences. We grow up in this world through many obstacles, most of us survive and some don't. That is Natural Selection. We can not save everybody we can only save ourselves. Each form of salvation has a different meaning from person to person as well.
Charlie Sheen will live through this and we will eventually forget most of it as time passes. We probably don't really care anyway because we all do have to worry about our own lives anyway. We just like to see some go through "hard times". We don't like to be alone.
