Was he a real hero? In mid life, he lived the life of an affluent and celebrated star. In the last hours of his life, it was a controversial story and the lifestyle of a pauper. Wacko Jacko did it all. He served his generation well and earned an enviably accolade as the undisputed entertainer of all time. His death rocked the entertainment world and the whole universe. It brought the world together as well. But the multi million cedi question is, did he die a real hero?
MJ as he was popularly known made it big in life but died with a whole lot of snail shells around his neck. Are there not some vital lessons to pick from the novel-like life of MJ?
At least he taught us that no one is too small or too young to do something big. Didn’t he become a world star at a very tender age? He also taught us that the colour of your skin should not be a limitation. He broke bounds and became the greatest entertainer at a time that racism was rife in America. Unfortunately, he didn’t learn this lesson himself. So sad enough.
Didn’t Michael Jackson also elaborate on that adage of climbing to the top? So hard to get there, but more than hard to remain there. He was once worth over 700million dollars in the early 80s. he however died somehow bankrupt. It just proves that we should be weary of how we trust our wealth. We can lose them in a split of a second.
Above all, Michael taught us to be content with how our maker created us. He tried to change his original a bit and what happened afterwards is history. To crown it all, despite all his flaws in life, Michael Jackson still earned the respect of all and still remains the greatest entertainer of all time. That I suppose should be the greatest lesson. Do not give excuses for your shortcomings. He truly explored and exploited his talent to the maximum even on his way to his graveside. Will we ever have an entertainer so influential as MJ? The big question however still remains. Was he a real hero?
