Assalamualaikum guys welcome to another episode of Smarter Gen. Celebrities and depression. A bit of spit came up. They don't go together. Do they? Well not for the average lay person anyway. They have what you and I have been made to aspire. Fame and fortune. Why do we go to school? So we can get a good job. Why to get a good job so we can get the dough, the dush, the wonga, the peas, the powns, the Dallas. I'll run out now. And even me when I was young I used to think these guys think go out now. We're gonna start off with the Beatles. These guys were big. As a Beatles we made it and there was nothing to do. We had money, we had fame and there was no joy. Your whole life you're trying to get something you finally got it. Now what? It reminds me of only Fuzan horses. They were by always said this time next year I'm gonna be a mil yeah now. And when he finally does. You know now, Tony, now I have a chief or wanted a chase. You know it's finished. The hunt is over. What am I gonna do now? Britney Spears. She came in and she said she wanted her head shaved. The hairdresser refused. If she literally grabbed the hair clipper and started doing it herself. Bradley did she say why? Did she offer any information? They asked why she wanted to shave her head and she said I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me. Shaving ahead and the two tattoos, people remember that. What do you think it'll take to get the pop rotsie to leave you alone? I don't know. Is that one of your biggest wishes? I don't feel so alone. Yeah. Whoa. It's okay. I don't want to be alone. Jim Carrey. I've often said that I wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame and so that they could see that it's not where you're gonna find your sense of completion. Oh man. I love this guy. You wish he is that everybody had wealth? So they would realize that's not where you find peace. There's Stephen Fry, the famous atheist. Paul or a little text message or something just to say please call me because they want to hear my voice and just satisfy themselves and help my family. We've zoned out in misery and that's a wonderful thing. Because if you had to learn this to depression, you already are well-trained. He tried to commit suicide twice. Time for the Gaga. I have some sort of anxiety, depression, something that's changed my whole life. I take anti-depressive medication for it. Her case was very interesting because you just see her. I mean, she was back in the days. She used to get the most views. Obviously, it's Taylor Swift and then it's 80 Perry. We're gonna get to K2 Perry. Some of these guys do some funky stuff. Yeah, like I'm talking dark stuff within the Hollywood industry, like devil worship and rituals and all that kind of stuff because I mean they want the fame. They've sold their souls and they admit it in the songs and you guys are bopping your heads like, oh fuck beat. Listen to the words in the damn song. I had to stop because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside. And I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down. I don't want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what's in here. Yeah, that someone like Selena Gomez saying that, what are you guys gonna do anyway? But this guy is Josh Redna from How I'm at Your Mother. American sitcom. His thing is pretty deep. I had bought into the not uncommon notion that when I taste success, when I get over there, then I'll be happy. But the strangest thing happened as the show got more successful, I got more depressed. And I kind of had to keep that to myself. The circle of people to whom you can complain about being on a hit television show is unsurprisingly small. A lot of people think getting famous will save you, that it will grant you the life you feel you're owed and spare you certain indignities. I was pretty bummed to realize that rather than lessening or eliminating my insecurities and least attractive qualities, it basically portalized around them. Just in be-buff. But are you ever lonely? Of course. Yeah. I get lonely sometimes, yeah. You do? Even with all of this. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You ever get depressed? Sometimes, yeah. In another interview with NME magazine, he goes into his depression a bit more Katy Perry. It did admit to having once had suicidal thoughts. Very low thoughts. Very low thoughts. Yeah, it's hard because I feel ashamed that I would even have those thoughts. You know, I feel that low or that depressed. A Katy songs are like proper dark. Yeah, like she uses some weird imagery and crazy stuff. Now, evil has consequence, guys. Oops, I'm sorry. If you sold your soul and you're doing this dark stuff and you're misleading people, that will have a toll on you. But the people that are pulling the strings, they don't care. They'll just get another sap to come along. Kendrick Lamar now, yeah. I was surprised to hear some of the things that you were saying when you talk about depression and reveal suicidal thoughts. I'm like, this real is their poetic license. Like, where did that come from? What brought up did that? I think I've pulled that song not only from previous experiences, but I think my whole life. Now, my favorite guy, Russell Brand, is C.W.E. saying. I thought it would be good to be rich and famous. It would be good to be the opposite of this. It would be good to have stuff. It would be good to have money. It would be good to be invited to the party. Well, I've been invited. I've been in. We're having this chat in a private swish members club in East London. It's super cool. There's bear brick walls. Everyone's double good looking. But I've been inside now. I've seen the other side of the looking glass. It ain't worth it. It's not good. Don't feed your soul. I still feel empty inside. Because I tell you why. Because the things that you're being offered can't feel what we're looking for. Whoa, Russell Brand. I'll just play this clip of KSI as well, the famous YouTuber. For real, just to take a break from it all and not having to think about art and you snapchat this or Instagram this or tweet this. Like, a while times I've had my phone and gone, oh, I've been sick when I just tweet this and I was like, you know what, no, I need to just sit back, relax and just embrace life. When we make money relationships, jobs, education, nice house, nice wife, nice girlfriend or whatever, our purpose, what happens when we finally get these things and they know what we expected or they go wrong. But then our very foundation, our purpose is destroyed. And now, Allah, God, whatever you want to call him. He's created us. He knows our purpose because he's our creator and he tells us that he has created Jin and man for his worship. To worship him, acknowledge him, appreciate him. That's our purpose. And guys, however much we want to wrap it up in fancy vocab, that's the bare bones of the matter. And Sikina and peace that we're looking for, Allah says, Verily, it is in the remembrance of Allah, the heart finds satisfaction in his remembrance, thinking, worshipping, acknowledging him. That's how we find peace. If you are non-Muslim and you're watching and you're like, Ata no, Ata no, the song you're religions at there mate is confusing mate. I understand. Yeah. Just like with everything else, whenever it's confusing, you do your research, you find out, you try your best, whenever you buy yourself, raise your hands, ask. And make this application, say Allah, if you are there, guide me. You do this sincerely, Allah will surely guide you. He will surely guide you. Otherwise, it's not your fault because you took the steps. You took the steps, but guys, if you don't take the steps, I can't just say I'm confused all the time. We're confused with every little thing we go to the shops, we're confused with milk to get all this like 10 different types of milk, 15 different types of biscuits. But we still say, ah, let me sift through which one's organic, which one's got the right stuff, which one's this, which one's that when it comes to religion, ah, forget it man, it's too much, it's too hard. And you know what, most important of all, don't forget to like, comment and subscribe. You know what to do, link in the description. Until next time, peace, ala mualaikum.
