Teacher's teacher

Johnson products are noted for its wholesome ads: mother-child photo with the mom putting Johnson powder all over the baby's body as manifestation of tender loving care; family using Johnson products: shampoo, lotion,cotton and many more. Yet, the heir of Johnson & Johnson, Casey Johnson, the lady who has everything, dies at 30. While we do not have the power to judge Casey, we are left wondering why she had a history of drug problems and why even her relationship was that of another woman. . .

This is another human story which tells us very vividly that our aspirations are basically the same. One can be rich but the desire for belongingness and love are the same with someone who is financially challenged. Wealth or fame does not determine our happiness. Everything we possess should only be used as means never ends.

Thus, Casey may have everything financially speaking but perhaps she did not have the emotional and pychological support that come only with families who give quality time to family gathering and one-on-one follow-up. Just the same, Casey is a fellow pilgrim who needs our prayer and plea for her eternal repose with her God.
