i've never been someone to give two hoots about celebrities. literally, i have no idea what the kardashians are up to at this very moment. i mind my own business and watch tv when i remember that shows are even on. but, for some reason, i've been sad about finn from glee (cory monteith) dying since i heard about it. and no, it's not because i think that doing heroine is totally okay, or that i want to idolize someone and make impressionable youths think if they overdose on drugs they will get some grandeur sendoff.
people make mistakes. bad people make mistakes. good people make mistakes. great people make mistakes. i have watched glee since the show started--and they bring light to the fact that people need to just BE NICE. is that so hard to understand? finn represented the "cool kids" and taught people that being nice to everyone was important. i am an avid believer that bullying needs to be stopped. that people need to be aware of the things that happen in school, and that discrimination needs to end.
i understand that some may think because of the way that cory died, he should not have been memorialized on glee in the positive light that was given to him. what i want to ask of those people is... if someone you knew and loved died because they did something that you didn't agree with, would you be any less sad that they were gone? most likely, the answer is no.
