You Gotto Wash Your Dirty Laundry – Part 1

  

"Sin is sweet in the beginning but bitter in the end" The Talmund. This has come true in the lives of our Bollywood celebrities. Its been a circus since June 2020 with a famous actor's demise. However, these incidents have taught extremely valuable lessons that can shape and mold our Millennials (born between 1981-1996) and Generation Zs (born between 1997-2012) (New York Disrupted by Mac Pier). I have drawn four lessons from these controversies. Let's look at the first two this week:

The first lesson is money, power, beauty and fame are not the ultimate end. Controversies have been racking the film fraternity both in Hollywood and Bollywood. It started with Harvey Weinstein in October 2017, which made the famous #MeToo movement go viral. The sin Harvey Weinstein became famous for is "casting couch". For those of us who are in unfamiliar territory, "Casting Couch" means providing acting jobs, especially for women, in exchange for sex. We were all shocked and shook our heads in regret. But little did we know that we have another scandal breaking up in our own home front. The Bollywood with its drug cartel and drug abuse. Let's draw some common denominators in both these worlds. Both is about money, both is about power, both is about beauty and both is about fame. Today, somehow our Millennials and Generation Zs have got this into their system that their sole aim and goal is to gain these four at all costs. But where does these lead to? Apparently, these very things are the ones that become a deathly trap. The Bible beautifully comprises it in one thought, "But if its money these leaders are after, they'll self destruct in no time. Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble.".

The second lesson is that sin does not build relationships, it only tears down. Friends are friends only until everything goes well. The Bible warns, "Don't trust your neighbor, don't confide in your friend.". Its interesting to note that top Bollywood celebrities are going through what Jesus went through in His life - "Betrayal". Only difference is that He was betrayed because He was sinless. Evidently, today each are betraying one another because they used each other for their own selfish ends. Harvey was betrayed by the one woman who was obsessed about him at one point of time in life. It was her final testimony that sealed his fate.
