Will Smith, Chris Rock and God Almighty

Today is Friday. Six days ago a meaningless event occurred that has dominated the Internet since then. It's embarrassing that the petty, inconsequential and possibly fake altercation between two "actors" who earn millions by "pretending" is still being discussed. Exactly who got hurt in that silly little incident?

Are we supposed to feel sorry for Jada Smith for having a disease that causes her to lose her hair and her sense of humor? It's not painful like cancer or arthritis or so many other serious diseases, and she looks pretty good as a bald person. Also, she could choose to wear a wig like many people do, even those with lots of hair. (She could borrow one from her son for sure.) 

Should we feel sorry for Will Smith, whose wife he "defended" has revealed proudly over the years that they have an open relationship and Jada has sex with other men? I wonder, does Will ever slap any of those guys? Maybe in the future he will hit them on the head with his brand new eight-and-a-half pound Oscar; now that would do some damage.

Should we weep for Chris Rock, the comedian who was unscathed by a limp-wristed slap on the cheek and who since then gave a sold-out concert in Boston where his ticket prices were cranked up to $1,000 because of all the publicity he earned getting slapped for a "joke" that was hardly a joke at all?

We actually should feel sorriest for God, who made us all in His image and with the highest hopes. Mankind is surely a major disappointment to Him.
