Arnold has written a book about his life and apparently he is going to talk about fathering a child with his housekeeper in part of the book.
My first internal thought was not to buy the book as that would give him positive attention and he doesn't deserve it. My second thought was to buy the book as I would love to know why he did what he did. And so all day I've had this internal conversation about my feelings towards Arnold.
It's interesting to me because at the end of the day I don't really have any negative feelings for Arnold, just curiosity. And when I come to this conclusion, I than think to myself, why do I loathe John Edwards so much?
Why is Arnold not as detestable as John Edwards? It's not a right or left political thing as I tend to lean to the left.
Maybe it's because Arnold seems to have taken more responsibility for his actions than John did, although I can't hardly justify that thought.
Maybe I just want to like Arnold more. Maybe there is familiarity there and I want to understand it so that I can return to loving all those great movies he made.
What I'd really like to see is a book from the secret love-children of celebrities. It must be awfully hard for them, so much so that even with my perspective I can't even imagine.
All I can do is say a prayer for them and hope that Arnold's book lifts up his son and in some measure makes it somehow right by him.
