Hall of Fame

 

I have been thinking and in my thoughts, I puzzled on fame.

In our society today, the struggle to 'blow' or be famous and rich is everywhere and everyone seems to be involved in a way or another. It is worthy of acknowledgement that some people are actually selfless in their hustle and they do not mind making sacrifices to help others up. But more apparently, people are turning against one another in the competition for fame. It is believed that the space up the societal economic/political hierarchy is small and can only take a few. Many then rush into the fight for the 'little space' and in the process lose friendship, trust, family, integrity and some, their lives. 

The question I ask myself is, is it worth it?

No one lives forever and one day, we get to look back and either be happy we did not sacrifice certain relationships and virtues in the quest for fame or regret sacrificing them. 

Is fame worth loosing ourselves for?

How about you share your thoughts on the subject too.
