What would you rather be a Kim Kardashian or a Hillary Clinton?

Would you rather be a Kanye West or Barack Obama?

Our contemporary/modern cultures are obsessed with fame, riches, power, influence and a legacy. After all, who wants to be forgotten? In an examination, all these obsessions are a part of this product sold to us. We call them aspirations, dreams (the American Dream), greatness, etc. This product can be summarized into one common idea: being someone of importance.

I give you a small-scale reflection on how to be the epitome of our ego-maniacal cultures. But who would you rather be, Kanye West or Barack Obama? Kim Kardashian or Hillary Clinton? If you're struggling with your choice, consider these 6 riddles.

1. Ultimate Freedom Of Speech VS. Political Correctness: Would you stomp off a stage and snatch a Trophy/award from its winner just because you think your opinion should be voiced(on who “really” deserves the trophy):“ I'ma let you finish but beyonce had one of the best videos of all time- KANYE WEST” . Or would you rather sit in a room filled with people with dissimilar opinions “Barack Obama and the Congress”? (While you listen and are trying to voice your opinion?)
2. Egocentric vs. Modest/Humble: Would you choose to address all media and other questioning inquiries on your actions and choices with the motto:“You can’t tell me nothing- KANYE WEST ”or would you navigate your way with intensive calculations through every other question and inquiry, just like a politician''It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is.- BILL CLINTON''
3. Influence vs. Power: Would you choose to be highly influential or extremely powerful. Would you be a Rothschild/Rockefeller or a Kanye West/Bob Marley? How many people wear Rastafari colors, thanks to Bob Marley? How many people really know a Rockefeller/Rothschild? Or for better wording “Lames try to tell me, "Cut the wild n' out, out” but who the f*ck is you reaching?”- KANYE WEST. What’s really power anyway fear or influence?
4. Non-Conformist vs. Formalist: This seem to be a judgemental one. Do you choose to follow your heart? “My childlike creativity, purity, and honesty is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts”- KANYE WEST. Do you choose to go with societal laws, ideologies, philosophies, Political parties, etc? Do you choose your truth or other people’s truth? Do you choose negotiations or your only way
5. Assertive vs Thoughtful: Would you let a whole conversation span out while you analyse it for a of a refined assertion or would you rather constantly give your raw state of mind? “What’s the point of thinking- KANYE WEST”

6. Field-Master or Multi-Tasker: Do you wish to dedicate your life to a craft? Or do you want to span out and do all different things? Do you want to be an Artisan or an Artist

Choices come with consequences and the trick is there is no engraved law saying you choose one way to believe, what to be, etc. You could be both. You could be everything! A scholar, an artist, a philosopher, an entrepreneur. Be tolerant and not a bigot. Educate yourself and find your balances!

Personally, my favorite philosopher is KANYE WEST: “I always felt like I could do anything. That’s the main thing people are controlled by! Thoughts- their perception of themselves! They're slowed down by their perception of themselves. If you're taught you can’t do anything, you won’t do anything. I was taught I could do everything. And I'm Kanye West at age 36.”
