What with Kylie’s premature return to work, causing her a bout of illness, and the dissolution of her relationship, rumored to be due to conflicting work schedules. And the whole big brother phenomenon, where people, celebs and celeb wannabes, will undo what little reputation and dignity they have left to be seen on TV everyday.
I wonder why the desire to be famous is greater in some people than the desire to have a family or to be healthy. I would think that these are the fundamentals of life, success and recognition, although important, should be further down the list, surely?
What creates this desire to be known by everyone?
Is it as simple as a lack of self esteem?
Is it vanity?
It seems to me that the bigger they are, the lonelier and more insular their lives seem to become. Yet people pursue that “big fame” at very big costs.
