Who should you worship

There are two types of people in the world, people who are capable to compete and people who need to be lead by the other people that are able to compete.

The people that are less competent can't get all the value they need to survive by themselves so they need to get that value from someone else.

This is a symbiotic relationship between the minority of the people that are very competent and produce the majority of value in the world and the wast majority of people that at best are going to achieve mediocrity.

It is a fair exchange of value like products and services in exchange of resources higher status in society and all the benefits that comes with that.

As we are not all born equal if the world is going to be fair some people will accumulate and achieve more than others.

For example not everybody can become a great athlete, this is why we have competitive sports, people get joy from someone winning a competition in there name. As their chosen champion is competing with the rest of the world, his victory becomes the victory of the people who worship him.

This is how people who aren't born with athletic bodies or don't have the determination to train at the level of a professional athlete etc. get the happiness of competing and winning through proxy.

However there is a problem when the masses become corrupted and they start worshiping heroes for the wrong values. Competitive sport is the equivalent of porn for having good leaders. Worshiping an athlete doesn't provide a fair exchange of value between the hero and the rest of the people, because the hero is selfish, he is competing solely for his own fame and fortune not for solving any significant problems in society or to address any real issues.

The people that the most worshiped today tend to be rather selfish and not offer a fair trade. People like musicians, movie stars, athletes, politician and perhaps the worst thing to worship is a God.

We worship this people not because they offer value but because they offer relief form the pain we have that comes from living in a world deprived of purpose and love. This heroes become a tool of denial rather than a way for people to cooperate in a fair way. If you support your favorite team that wins the championship there is no real substantial benefit that you received other than the joy of supporting the winning team. Your pleasure that you derive from it is empty meaningless and without purpose.

While simultaneously serous problems in the world remains untreated, unman-aged and things tend to deteriorate further. While everybody is distracted by bread and circus.
