Why is it more important these days to be outwardly personable and charming regardless of whether you conduct your life in a manner that is respectable and kind?

Just asking......
Well, I don't celebrate these people, dead or alive!
I believe in morality above all else.
I sincerely believe that this is what God expects of me (us).
I can appreciate the good deeds that people do but that doesn't mean that I have to respect their ways.
If we all would pray for these people, it could do some good.
