On Super Stars

On Super Stars

Not seldom do we read articles praising someone as super stars. Here is an instance:

“ … He, this living legend, stays in a five star hotel in the president’s suite that was once visited by vice president Walter Mondale and king Hussein. From the airport to the hotel he took a helicopter. His life was not less adventurous to those that are princes or head of states. We would be impressed about his riches and the millions of dollars he earned. … Something like that was written in the editorial of a foremost news paper of Jakarta recently“ said pak Arif to me “and I might add, erect his statue and kneel, worship and kiss his feet.”

“But I adore, am enchanted, fascinated by my little Star as I remember her lovely smile, her voice, her looks, her radiant eyes, her soft hair, her warm embrace, her kiss, … Eve, instead of being impressed, awed by shows, exhibitions of their fame, achievements, riches, earnings … ha, ha, ha.”

“I don’t care about the super stars on the stage, on the grass, or in the sky.”

Jayakarta, September 26, 1990
