They are mentors to youth who get very disappointed by the occasional turn of events like death, depression, crime, etc. of celebs. Some of you carry the ‘painful mark’ of the earlier struggles in life as a snare on their heart, and despite the great success, the elasticity of pain keeps pulling them back to pain, despair, and anger.
