Why do the Best die Young?

What are the odds that Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston - arguably the best male and female music stars in history - both die prematurely within a two year interval with no apparent cause other than that they both seemed to have been fed up with life? I had written a note on Whitney Houston before her death and when I stumbled on it today, it seemed a bit stale.

Yes, it is true, the Tao traveler is unlikely to fall into the same trap that all star entertainers fall into, but it is also true that we mostly act in a small circle of influence and we let everyone around us do their thing without imposing ourselves too much on our environment. How different are the star entertainers who encourage many millions of people to project their emotions, fantasies and longings onto them. Only superstars can do that and, whether consciously or subconsciously, they know that they have to pay for this feat. Sure, superstars can age gracefully, Celine Dione would be one example in this direction, but she has also faded it bit. The point of my note is that we need to applaud everybody for their incredible efforts, the superstars as well as the ordinary folks. Everyone does the best they can and no one else knows what their lifetime achievement award really looks like.
Superstars often have talents that others can't match, but sometimes they just accomplish what they do with willpower alone. Madonna is a good example in this direction. Fact of the matter is that you need to have tremendous psychological imbalances inside to generate this hunger for stardom. It is certainly your birthright to start your spiritual journey towards love and peace, but you have no case criticizing anyone for marching into the opposite direction either. Consciously or subconsciously, we all know what our destiny is about and some may have signed up for stirring up others a little. Ironically, it is this psychological imbalance that will in turn start them on their journey. I know this is hard to accept, but we have no right criticizing anyone on anything. Please leave this up to a higher authority. Everyone needs to be applauded, the shooting stars who burn out prematurely as well as all the rest of us who become greater with every year that goes by.
