Why do we seek fame?

Just ask this question to yourself, why do we seek fame? Everybody wants to be famous as a film-star, as a model, as a politician, as a pop singer or an artist. What is the reason behind this desire? Have you ever thought about it?

The main reason of the desire to become famous is that we don't love what we do. If you really love to do something then we don't bother whether we become famous or not for doing this. We just do it and we enjoy what we do because we love what we do. It comes from our heart. It is like a song. We feel happy when we love what we do and we just forget ourselves in that activity. We lose the track of time. Then there is no sense of time. Then you are satisfied with what you do and who you are.

If we find our passion then we don't care about people and we don't try to attract their attention.

Want to be famous is very superficial desire. It is a sign of immaturity. And it will never get satisfied. Even if million people know you you will feel unsatisfied. There are many celebrities like Curt Cobain who committed suicide. Even-though they were world famous they feel empty inside.  

If you love your work then you will be happy to work anonymously.It is our ego who wants to be famous. We are not rich inside our heart so we want to fill that gap and emptiness by fame. If you are rich and fulfilled in your heart then you will not desire to appear in newspapers.

Our society and education system teach children to love success. We teach them competition. Hence there is so much tension and stress. Boys don't want to do what they really love rather they what to do which will make them quickly famous. This is the great tragedy of new generation.

Being just a creative human being and living anonymously has its own beauty and richness.
