How happy are you to be famous?
How important it is for you to be a famous person?
I am amazed by what some people would do just to be famous. And believe me, I feel like people around are having a famous-wannabe disease. Suddenly people start to use the word “My” instead of “Our” whenever they speak about a collective project. And they tend to put so much guts to look and act cool.
But that’s not the worst. Oh yea, my friend, that’s not. The worst is how they are so willing to be the coolest at conversations. It starts to frustrate me how people are competing on arguments at lunch, or in usual jokes, or even in some small group discussions. I mean, their arguments are not actually an argument. They don’t give a logical reason why people should agree about their ideas. Instead, they mock other’s ideas. Why would I give respect to a brainless jerk like that?
Being famous is either a talent or something you gain with blood and tears. I mean, you’re gonna be famous if you have fight for something, eventhough it might be a wrong thing. But you don’t get famous by inviting people to an event only you think is cool. And surely you don’t be a Society Sweetheart by going on a cool place where you do nothing because you’re too fearful to try things, you’re a sweetheart because by going on a trip you’ll have an experience you can share with people. Most of all, you cannot be a famous person until something attached to you makes people go “awesooooommmeeee.”
Seriously, Gandhi is famous for his awesome kindness and lifeguides. Models and actress are famous for either their awesome good looks or great acting. Philosophers get famous because of their awesomely random thoughts. So many people in history are famous for their awesome clever brains. Columbus get famous because of his awesome bravery. And ounces of other people are famous because they do awesome things that plays a good role in society. Not by babbling arrogantly over some usual breakfast that people really want to peacefully enjoy.
Or, at least, people could get famous by being extremely mean, or greedy, or just say, bad. Yeah you could be famous by creating some awesomely extreme badness. But to do that you gotta be creative, clever, or physically strong.
So if you cannot do or be anything awesome, just stay as you are right now. People are not born to be famous. There are still better ways to be known in society rather than being a snob who always wants to win a breakfast-table argument. Besides, being a social climber means you are actually a pathetic loser who are not satisfied with what life brings. Just chill around and you’re actually okay.
Do not let fame blinds you.
