Reflections On Fame

Mohammed Al Amri

Fame and fortune are the ambition of a lot of people these days. In other words, there are a lot of people who think that happiness and satisfaction can’t be found unless you a rich and well-known person.

On the other side, there are diehard fans and every one of them is attracted by someone famous and ready to spend his/her life for his/her idol. They imagine every day about their marked persons: How they eat? How they sleep? How they spend their day? There are a lot of questions that convert those celeb worshippers lives into a hell.

They do that because they don’t know the cost that you should pay for being famous or rich. In my experience, mostly, poor people are happier than rich, because most rich people can’t sleep at night because of the stress of how to manage their money. They still think about that all the time.

In addition, famous persons don’t feel comfortable anywhere, usually, because they are followed by paparazzi and some obsessed fans and they face a lot of problems through their life because they are in the public eye and their mistakes are counted up by people and published by the press.

In my opinion, having enough money to survive and a home to live in is a decent life, much better than that of millions of people starving and dying in many places around the world.
