The University trains minds, not ethics.
Its been said too, an intellect is not necessarily an honorable or respectable person, if he/she has no good moral values..
We interact with people with all sorts of lacking abounding us, or full of plausible assets- either way, public figure or not, the
interaction between two individuals entrusts between them some sort of 'ethical trust'- if that is what it s called.
This is not a new thing, its even earlier than the movie 'The Roman Holiday' movie.
Its not nice, simply and when we start to enjoy the degradation of other individuals, be them public figure or otherwise, or that the public figure or individuals likes it or not, we are degrading ourselves. Think with your heart and your faiths too, and balance it with the 'flow' of the crowd or the trend.
