Well he is still a human being. That is cool to know that even the president of the US gets his card denied. That means there is fairness in this world
As I can understand this argument from your standpoint, it's kind of a very odd statement to make.
Why?
Fact: All persons on this planet are human beings. That means they're all the same in the regard that they have needs (eating/sleeping/social needs etc.)
Fact: Most automated systems have certain rules programmed. These rules are attached to for example bank accounts.
Example: If you call your brother in Romania, and he makes a charge on your card, it is blocked according to policy, because of suspicious spending pattern, no matter who you are.
Another example: If you do not use a card over the next 12 months, it's blocked. This happens no matter who you are.
There are of course financial services that has more of a personal approach to accounts for rich people, and where everything is handled manually by a clerk.
So the next time you see a president, a film star, a football player or anyone else rich, famous and powerful experiencing the same problem as an
ordinary person, this is no indication that there's fairness in the world.
All of these are just normal people like you and me, they only are more resourceful. If you got a few million dollars, and your own TV program tomorrow, you would still be the same person physically, but people would view and treat you differently.
There's a sickness in our society where people that have resources are treated better because of who they are.
In fact, every day you can see there's a lot of examples that the world is a nasty unfair place. For example, highly religious people go to a war zone and gets raped and killed, but all they wanted to do was to help other people. A young boy gets killed by a truck. A promising young girl gets killed in a school shooting. You get hit by a random bullet going to a carneval.
There's no fairness in this world. The world is full of randomness and even if you always try to do what's right, this is no guarantee you will succeed. True, hard work can often bring you very far, and you're responsible for your own life, but frankly the famous person that does something good for others, like the famous fotball player that plays with the kids in his local town, or visiting a cancer ridden child at a hospital, that's not any more impressive than if you did it. It's not like when you reach a certain status in this world, which by the way is not worth more than the perception in the eyes of others, and in my eyes, if you're a president or a janitor, I would not care either way, I would treat you the same, and I would see the human you are, and not the title attached to your name.
Seeing a famous person experiencing the same issues as a normal person and then concluding that there's fairness in this world, is basically flawed thinking.
This might come forward as harsh, that's not my intention. But please don't hold any famous person up as a God or a Semi-God, they're just humans with their positive and negative sides, as everyone else, which for whatever reason has achieved their current status among other humans.
Personally I am never envious of famous people, as I can imagine it can be quite difficult to be famous as you're constantly recognized, and even though they have more opportunities in life than most people, I don't think that automatically brings you happiness. Just look at the amount of famous and rich people that have struggled with narcotics, alcohol and other issues, even though they had plenty of money and people to help them.
The fact that some people look up to the rich and famous,and want to be like them, it's nothing but a mirage. It looks great from a distance, but once you get there, you realize that not everything is perfect, there's still problems in life, and being famous can bring with it its own sleeve of issues and problems.
Sometimes Obama will have a fight with Michelle, they will argue over issues concerning their children, and they will be angry at each other. Sometimes they will eat some food that was not top quality, and as a result they will have stomach pain, and sit on the toilett with a running stomach. Sometimes there's other physical pains, and yet other times, there's something or someone annoying them greatly. And sometimes they just simply don't get their way.
That's life for everyone. While money might make lots of things simpler, and while you can buy a great house, a great car and live a lifestyle that makes others envious, it does not mean that you're a happy person, or not even a good person. Many persons who have a constant need for attention often live in complete turmoil, they do not have peace within.
So please, don't envy the famous and rich, and don't feel relieved once a beautiful movie star has a bad hairday, or shows her face without makeup. If you look at the path many of these people has taken through life, while some was destined from success from birth, that's not true of everyone, and many of those who today are famous and rich, have had a very though struggle to get where they're at - and many others have tried and didn't succeed. Sometimes it's random whether an individual becomes a success, or a failure. But imo, the only failure is to never have tried, if you have ambitions.
