The Reason & Benefits of Striving for Fame

Today, the desire to be seen is perhaps of the greatest volume in human history. There are people on every corner of the planet revealing snippets of their lifestyles with aspirations of spreading wisdom, self aggrandizement, providing entertainment, & so much more. With relatively easy access to the globally connected web filled with an abundance of customs & creeds, it is easier than ever to join this cocktail of mass expression. Much has been said about the dangers of wanting to attain a sense of fame, a word built from the same prefix as family, of which we are all aware. So instead, I’ve decided to illustrate the personal & public benefits of striving to be known (because there are two sides to every coin); as well as where I believe this desire comes from. As a natural introvert who releases from others attention to recharge my energy, this is something I had not understood for a long time. In fact, I actually found it to be quite a waste of time. But as I grow older in years, in my understanding of how society operates, & its interconnectedness to human development, I’m beginning to perceive its significance.
