Random. (i dunno why i feel like using english)

Not so recently (probably the beginning of the year) there was a rumour about Oprah Winfrey, who gains weight. I think that news is a bit exaggerated, though. I dont know about Oprah, nor watch her shows, but I sympathise for her.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't curse me if you do not agree with my way of thinking.
In my way of thinking: Oprah gains weight. So what? She is still the famous Oprah Winfrey. She is still the host of the famous talk show. So what if she gains weight? She can still talk, she can still give words of encouragement, she can still entertain public...
So why do people really give a damn about it?

There are still many things to talk about, if you think the world is running out of juicy stuffs to be served hot.
Though it sounds cliche, there are still many wars, especially in the Middle East.
There is a big, monstrous, scary issue of global financial recession (which is about to kill me soon ToT)
There is an inconvenient truth about global warming
and the terrorism issue and the haunting rate of crime in the society (you can go to school alive and healthy then go home with knowledge and bullets inside your head)
and many many more...

yet I wonder why Oprah's weight is such a big deal (sorry, no offense)
I mean, global warming is still a problem regardless of her weight
her weight gain does not worsen or alleviate the problem of global recession
the wars will not stop if she loses or gains some more pounds
et cetera......

so I wonder why somebody's weight is such a big deal
I mean, we should see Oprah as what she is, not what she looks like
no matter how pretty or ugly she is, she is still Oprah
for some, she is an inspiration
for some, a role model
for some, an entertainer, a celebrity

Its like...lets say my mother
whether she is black or white
whether she is fat or skinny
whether she is curly or straight
whatever she chooses to wear; D&G or brandless clothes
she is still the woman i know
the woman who give birth to me, and nurture me (and my sis, of course)
for my dad, she is still a wife
for her boss, she is still an employee
even if she gains/loses some pounds, that does not change these facts, ceteris paribus
anyway, i dont care, she is still who she is as a person, and do not let the scale be the judge

so why is the fuss with Oprah's physical appearance? it does not change what is in the inside
meanwhile...
the media may terrorise her and put sooo much pressure to her
the stress she experienced may create a greenhouse effect on her body/mind
the critics she faced may pierces like bullets through her brain
and all these tension imposed may make her goes into war with herself
and thus, creating recession in her life
yeah. that may be incoherent, that may not necessarily be true, but still...
come on... this is so unfair...give her a break

Yeah. we all need a break
tell that to the terrorists
tell that to the supporters of war
tell that to those who speculate with stock market or whatever the economic terms
tell that to those who gain when the others suffer
tell that to the unrepentant culprits of environmental degradation (hey, thats ourselves. so sad)
we need a break. we want to experience "what a wonderful world"
we want to see the realisation of promises
we want to see our dreams come true
we want peace
peace with ourselves,
peace with Mother Nature,
and peace with other human kinds.

PEACE!!!
