Life is just somethin', huh...

On February the 11th 2012, the world was, once again, in mourning over another fallen star, Whitney Houston. She was one of the most amazing singers the world has ever seen and will ever see. I grew up listening to her songs and watching her movies. I followed her career and became an even bigger fan of hers after watching Waiting to Exhale. Her voice is just extraordinary.

What is it with stars who just can't control themselves and their addictions? Is it the fame and glory (to quote Indiana Jones) or is it just inherent in them? Do they not realize that there are millions of people out there who would love to be in their shoes? Last year the world mourned the loss of Amy Winehouse, before that was Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson. Is earning millions of dollars not enough for their happiness? Anyway, rhetorics aside, a wise person once told me that sometimes stars like Whitney were only put on this good Earth to enrich our lives with their talent and that God loves them more than we do, so that's why they don't live very long. I think that's quite comforting, don't you?

Anyway, that's all my thoughts for now.
