Secular Impresiveness

By -
People are generally impressed with things like:

Money, fame, fortune, talent, hype...

Those things really aren't impressive though. The things that are truly impressive are a whole lot less "glamorous".

Consistency, hard work, unselfishness, giving, love...

An unselfish individual is much more impressive than a rich individual.
Impressions aren't what we do things for, but seeing so many having this backwards is disturbing.

Celebrity is not something to be impressed by. Few celebrities live successful lives, most are very messed up individuals. If anything we should feel bad for them.

Chances are you know some people who should be acknowledged and respected, and they're not famous or popular. They're "everyday people".
