One of my biases is that I appreciate a person's personal life than his
contribution to the society. Sure, I do care a person's contribution to
the society. Famous scientists, famous politicians and artists with
masterpieces do contribute to the world a lot.
But, whenever I hear some infamous personal gossip about a famous people,
I just start not to respect him very much.
Everybody makes mistakes. I myself make a lot of mistakes. But, whenever I
hear some stories telling a famous guy maltreated his friends, his family
or people who worked for him, I put him down under the average people.
He, the widely known guy might be a person who took advantage of other
people to obtain his goal, be arrogant looking down average people like
me. Whatever a person he is, I would not respect him any more as soon as I
know that that guy does not respect me. Whatever a person he is, I would
not respect who does not care about other average people.
As soon as I hear that an artists had a promiscuous sexual life I start
ignore his drawings or songs. However beautiful his products might be, his
deficit of control just makes me sick.
