You Really Want To Be Popular? by Abujamedia(m): 5:35pm On Jul 04, 2014
Wait a minute! Do You really long for fame? want to live like a human in a goldfish bowl, whom every step is watched and criticized

Do you crave for fame that you don't care about the consequences? Want people on queue just to get your autograph? This is a very common dream, especially among young people. But does fame really make life fuller and more enjoyable?

See what a celebrity sacrifices for fame. He cannot have the freedom you have to move about inconspicuously in public places. At a party he cannot speak freely, because he is likely to be quoted or misquoted. His being famous makes it difficult for his children to have normal associations with other children, No freedom.

The personal affairs of his home life cannot be easily kept private. Recently Nicki Minaj said she almost died just to avoid her illness details being publish on a website. Celebrities’ loss of privacy is a high price to pay for fame.

Furthermore, celebrities cannot be sure that those who pretend to be their friends really are. Such persons might actually be more interested in being seen by the public in the company of a famous person. The professed friendship of another celebrity is also undependable because that person puts first his own position in the public eye. He can become insanely jealous if a so-called friend gets more public acclaim than he does. A true friend, however, sticks “closer than a brother.”—Prov. 18:24.


As far as morals are concerned, celebrities are certainly not to be envied. Immorality is rampant among them, causing domestic strife, divorces and diseases. An immoral way of life is not a happy one. Regarding this, Maurice Zolotow, a close associate of many famous persons, observed: “For about fifteen years I have been the confidant of Broadway and Hollywood actors and actresses who have opportunities to live a promiscuous sexual life. And some of them live it to the hilt . . . But when they trust you and let down their hair, they will confess how frustrating and unsatisfying it all is.”

Usually a famous person is soon forgotten when he dies. Although his name may be preserved in history books, it ceases to be on the lips of the people. This is particularly so as new generations come and the older ones that knew him pass away. For example, how many great athletes who won fame in the world do you know by name? How many are acclaimed today?


Why do you think you want to be famous? I may explain; but, at the end of it, will you stop wanting to be famous? You want to be famous because everybody around you in this society wants to be famous. Your parents, your teachers, the guru, the yogi - they all want to be..
