Overwhelmed by Success?

I'm saddened to know that Whitney Houston had to auction off her personal belongings to raise funds to pay debts.

Isn't that sad?

Not many people in whole wide world can sing as Beautiful as Whitney.

She is truly blessed with that amazing vocals. Remember how she remade & re-record that old song by Dolly Parton," I will always love you"?

Why are Hugely Famous Pop Stars seemed to have such trouble handling success?

Just to mention some examples:

a) Britney Spears just ended her short marriage.

b)Lil' Kim found guilty of conspiracy and perjury concerning a Manhattan shooting. She had to serve a year-and-a-day at the Philadelphia Detention Center in 2005.

c) Dionne Warwick, the 66-year-old singer of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" was arrested for marijuana possession at Miami International Airport in 2002. The charges were later dropped when Warwick agreed to complete a drug treatment.

d) George Michael, who I think one of the best singer-songwriter in the pop-world,was arrested for "engaging in a lewd act" in a Beverly Hills public toilet in 1998. In February 2006, he was arrested for drug possession as well as being cited for nodding out in traffic in May and again in October 2006. He has also announced publicly that he is gay.

e) Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, was dogged by allegations of sexual misconduct with young boys, first in 1993 and most recently in a high-profile trial in 2005, Jackson was finally acquitted.

There are many more POP STARS....the list goes on & on...

Any answer why?

My humble opinion is that these Stars, though with huge successes, fame & money, are having deficits in the areas of Spirituality.

They may not know what they really want.

Searching in vain for happiness.

This may have lead them to all the self-inflicted abuses.

Poor thing.
