Humans love to worship successful people

in LeoFinance4 months ago

American Elections are in full swing and as per usual the worship has begun

For all the talk about democracy and all men being created equal, humans seem to seek out other humans to worship. Why?

  • We worship Presidents, we worship Movie Stars, and Musicians too, Don't even get me started on Sports figures...

  • I don't get and constantly ask people why? These people are only human. They eat, sleep, poop and pee just like the rest of us. They are not worthy of worship.

  • here in the cryptoverse we are no different, we worship good traders, bad traders and pump and dumpers too. We seem to worship anyone more successful then us, even if by accident.

  • I mean how many crypto Bros bought Bitcoin to buy stuff inside a video game and woke up ten years later to find out that their ten thousand BItcoin made them a millionaire, so now people hang on their every word like it's God's Whispers!

Jealous I am

  • Certainly I am jealous of those lucky bros who played maybe the only game I didn't play and now don't ever have to work again....
  • But at the same time I am confused by people who ignore real self made millionaires and worship people who are lucky, or who excel at one thing tennis, soccer, basketball.
  • Certainly I give them credit for working hard at their craft, as natural talent can only take you so far.. but worship... come on..
  • I think it's seeded in some type of insecurity or something.
  • I admire people who are successful, but worship them and kiss their ring...nope.

Strong self esteem and confidence

  • I think that if you have high self esteem and self confidence you admire many but worship none.
  • After all my favorite writer is me.
  • My favorite basketball player is me.
  • Now after me come other people whose work or skills I admire.
    _ Some say that makes me self absorbed, others say it makes me arrogant, I say it makes me proud of me, and love me, and that is the most important ingredient of a successful life.
  • What do you think?

Shocking, a meme with a underlying truth.
Yes humans are into idol worship, be they carved from gold or flesh in blood.
Oddly enough in the cryptocurrency community people worship traders who pump and dump on their followers.
It's sad that people rip off their YouTube Followers in this way, leading them from shitcoin to shitcoin to fleece their sheep.

Yes, memes have become the new digital comedians of our time.
And one of the roles of comedianes in society is to say the quiet oart outloud.
They are the one segment of most societies allowed to poke the bear with a stick, or make fun of the powerful and call out corruption with humor, or hypocrisy with humor, and survive.
That's why the recent political correctness of comedians movement in America was so terrible, even social equality movements can go to far, and need to be reined in at times when they seek not equality but superiority.

This YouTube Subject you broah is a whole new can of worms.
It's worthy of an article all by itself.

I love it. Your right about worship false Gods, we as a species do this to much.

Falso Gods, False idols, False Heros

It's funny that this is our comments and then @shortsegments writes a post about a false God!

Hmmm... humans gonna be humans. The flawed humble creatures they are, always looking up at successful people and thinking their success is because they are better then you. Pity
I vote for confidence.
