No Fair Treatment

Much can be said about the true character of celebrities based on their treatment of their support system, comprising their personal assistants, yayas, househelp, drivers, among others. Without a support system, the daily dealings of celebrities will be in havoc, as they will have to devote time to domestic chores, instead of focusing on their careers. However, regardless of the attitude of househelp, celebrities treat them differently.

For instance, while Singer Actress (SA) might have had her share of bashers recently, no one can take away the fact that she treated her yaya nicely and even got her yaya some endorsements. In the same manner, a Highly Valued Celebrity (HV), who has wealth, fame, connections, and bashers, too, is known for her kind treatment of her helpers. She even brings them to her out of town trips, sometimes even abroad. Not as famous as SA or HV, Actress Painter (AP) also treats her househelp with kindness and fairness.

Now, some househelps of celebrities are not as lucky. Some have been wrongly accused of theft or are treated with inhumane hours of working, especially drivers. Most have to live within the strict rules of households. For example, the household of Actress Host (AH) imposes a rule that all househelp should buy their coffee, sugar, food, and other needs. Hence, basic food items in the home of that celebrity are off limits to their househelp. Thus, the helpers have to purchase for their own consumption. Sadly, the said celebrity is not poor, and is considered as a competent host despite her many faults in the field.

So, why can SA, HV, and AP treat their househelp properly, whereas AH’s household cannot? Probably, the difference among these celebrities is the attitude towards wealth. SA, HV, and AP were raised in environments where generosity was something that was natural, and not a matter of wealth.

SA and HV were all born in well-to-do families, and had they not started careers in showbiz, they would still be comfortably living. For AP, although she was not born in a very rich family, her parents stressed respect for their helpers, and she never forgets to look back to where they came from. Hence, her elegance reverberates because of innate kindness. By contrast, the wealth AH is enjoying is the accumulation of shrewd career deals, long hours of work, and often overexposure in media. Despite stories that AH’s family was already well-off even before she started her career, there is no doubt that it was through her struggle that her family gained wealth and power.

Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. – Dennis Prager
