Paris Hilton becomes buddhist nun....


Just, kidding, says Princess Haiku.
I think justice for both Paris Hilton and the community would be better served by a sentence of volunteer hours instead of jail. Her celebrity status requires that she be isolated for her own protection and forty-five days seems unfair. Perhaps a few.. Just imagine Paris Hilton working in a homeless shelter with teens, or with children in a hospital with AIDS. Perhaps her heart would be touched and she is a person who could do a lot of good on this earth. She is not the only young person on earth with bad judgement and poor impulse control. I read this snippet about celebrities in China becoming Buddhist nuns and it gave me cause for thought.



"On March 15, 2007, Chinese actress Chen Xiaoxu, well known for her portrayal of the melancholy beauty Lin Daiyu in a 1980s TV version of the classic novel "Dream of Red Mansions," has abandoned everything she owned, cut her hair and become a Buddhist nun. She once made thousands cry for the character she portrayed in the TV drama. This time, thousands cried for the actress herself after learning of her decision. In recent years, a number of celebrities have left their homes and families to become monks or nuns, distressing the public and exiting the media."
