I came across an article last night, just before I went to bed, criticizing the divorce and the influence of the "Kardashian Empire" on young adults. This made me extremely angry because people always wait for celebrities to mess up or make a mistake so they can run with it just to make themselves feel better. I think that it helps some people feel like they lead a better life without all the money, fame, and luxury because they have better sense of judgement, morals, and ethics than these celebrities.
I guess it's hard for them to understand that Kim's life is on display for the whole world because WE DEMAND IT. People who criticize the Kardashians act like they've never did anything embarrassing, bad, or wrong in their lives; how nice must that be right? To live with no dirt between your fingers for anyone to put under a microscope and scrutinize. It makes me sad that Kim is such a hopeless romantic and I feel like she is in love with the idea of love, it doesn't make it any easier for her to find her true love because many people would be after her for the wrong reasons.
I never thought Kris was the type of guy to appreciate and support her dedication to her career, family, and fans. It's not a surprise that many of her boyfriends in the past couldn't handle all the media attention, paparazzis, and her hectic schedule as a successful business woman. It's not like I know any of them personally, but just like everyone else who judges Kim purely through what they see on TV, I felt like Kris wasn't really ready to integrate with the Kardashian family and stand fully supportive behind her career decisions. I think it would be much easier for her to find a man once her career dies down a little and she has more time to really invest in dating and spending quality time with people away from the media.
I have to admit, often times I find myself endlessly envying the fabulous life the Kardashians lead and the show somewhat makes me feel like I'm living that kind of life vicariously through it. Wouldn't anyone think that it would be nice to lead such a lavish lifestyle? I think people who denounce it just have a suppressed resentment for their status in our society. I'm definitely not in the 1% the Occupy movement aim towards, but I can undersand that if you're working hard to make the money (which is basically made off the people who are willing to invest in their products), other people shouldn't judge how to spend it. Sometimes, we mindlessly spend money on arcade games and impulsive buys and to those who are much less fortunate than we are, this might look just as excessive. The choice between buying a more affordable PC laptop and the sleek Apple laptops is just the same. We make those impulsive and unnecessary choices with our money at our level but we are so quick to point fingers and judge others who do the same but on a higher level (obviously because they make more money).
I hate that Kim had to file for divorce so soon, but I didn't like the idea of her marriage in the first place so I guess I can't really complain. It just sucks that all these people are bandwagoning now to hate on them because she's ruining the sanctity of marriage. But the Kardashians are a support of the "No H8" cause so there really is no validity in pointing fingers; it's not because of her or people "like her" that Prop 8 didn't pass.
It was her choice to put her life on display and our choice to watch and follow. If you don't like her show, don't watch it. There are tons of other inappropriate, offensive, and worse TV programs out there that really needs the attention. People just love to hate because it's easy and it makes your life seem somewhat better, but it takes so much more to take the time to put yourself in their shoes. I've learned that there are many things I thought I was prepared or cut-out for, but in my short 22 years of life, I've realized that when certain things happen, it's not easy to act the way you thought you would because there are so many influencing factors. In the end, I hope people are more understanding and less hateful towards things they don't take the time to really think about.
TEAM KARDASHIAN!
