Is Fame a Good or Bad Thing?

dear carl FAME such an attractive yet a scary word. with fame all your privacy is gone. even if you have a bad stomach it becomes a hot news for the news chhanles. i think i would like to earn o lot of money but not at all at the cost of my freedom and privacy.i would rather like someone else enjoy this status.

I never did and still don't want to be famous. To much responsibility comes with it. I think most of the "famous" take it for granted and think the world owes them something because they can act, sing or whatever they are famous for. I could never understand why rich people get famous because as far as I'm concerned they are just doing a good job at their careers.

I never wanted to famous. I rather be rich , but not mega rich because that comes with fame these days.i think that fame can be fun if you are not defined by it. Or it can be deadly too. Before Paris Hilton did her famous tape and got into other trouble, she seemed to be having fun being famous.But on the other hand, we lost Diana because she was famous. If she had been just a rich girlfriend of Dodi's would the paparazzi chase his car?I guess if you think being famous will make you happy, you may be so wrong.

fame is a very difficult thing to understand i we are not famous we want to be and if we become we try our selves to run away from it, its a like faint when you become famous you alway try to change your look because you fall in the competionn of the famous so you try to keep your fame stand or evergreen which is a very difficult work to do i love to become fame as all wants,even i know that its a bad thing but i will go for that

well in my point of view getting fame is a good thing by having fame you are known to each other and it also boosts your social circle

Hello Carl. I prefer to have my privacy intact so it's a big no for me when it comes to fame. Sure it sounds and feels great to be widely known by almost every person on the planet, but at what cost? My whole life being hounded by the media in almost every minute? Every thing that I do and every word that comes out of my mouth is under a large microscope. I think it just depends on how a person can handle his own fame. By how far will he let it affect his life and everyday living. Will he let it control him or will he be the one to control it?

Fame is a bit scarey if you ask me. I truly wouldn't want people rushing about to get a picture of me at my best or worst. Even being recognized by people that have never met or barely know is a bit weird. I know a few people who seek fame. Who want to be recognized for their talents. But, I am not sure that they can handle all that comes with it.

I have not ever wanted to be famous. I guess I do not like people "looking at" or watching me. I want my privacy. I think that there are some people who handle fame nicely, but on average, it gives them more pain than pleasure. I would totally dislike being so well known that one momentary lapse in any part of my life would guarantee my becoming every one's topic of dinner conversation. More often than not fame brings pain.

It all depends, I'd say... partly on how the person handles it, of course, but also on the circumstances under which a person becomes famous. If a child is forced into performing or something by a parent, then it can be a bad thing, if the child doesn't want to be famous or even to be a performer. Some young people are pushed into music, acting, sports, etc. by their parents and they end up being scarred by it.

Fame is a good thing for me. You get to be heard and even set trends that people will follow. So if you have a chance to get famous by all means be famous. The only thing you have to remember is always put your feet on the ground. Meaning, remember the virtues of Humility, charity and love. teach yourself to follow good virtues because it will bring you more fame than otherwise. regenerate yourself to goodness than degenerate to evil. If you think you can be that, by all means be famous. If you honestly are in doubt. Stay common. leave the fame to others.

There's two way to answe that question: It is good if you become famous due to a good cause. It is bad when you become famous and what you did is bad. If you're talking about becoming a famous action star or whatsoever..make it sure that you didn't play it nasty. Dream to be a star, yet maintain your good reputation. However, you can seldo find a good action star, or holywoods star who's been link to have a good reputation. I think most of the stars(not all) has a bad effect in our society today.

well to be famous would be great in one way,where you are making lots of money and meeting new people all the time and get pampered but then it has its down points where you will have hardly any privacy and have the camera people always bothering you,so i guess i wouldnt want to be famous unless no one would bother me and i could live the way i wanted to then i would do it.

It can be bad or good. Both of it. It's depend how you will handle it. Being famous is great. Many of us want to be with it. But it never came into my mind to be a famous. I am a simple living person. But yet i am not totally that happy. Not because i am not rich but because i longing for something. I have my family who loves me but i am not that complete. There is still sadness. So, whether you are famous or not. It is doesn't count with it. Its a matter how will you handle your life and how will you live with it:) happy posting.

I dont want to be famous.I dont like fame because its hard to go out to anywhere because everywhere we go,many people will chase us.

Fame can be a bad thing if people let it become a bad thing. People have to learn how to handle themselves in the public eye once they have that fame.

I once dreamed about being a pro soccer player, but not really about being famous. Being famous havent really had anything for me, Im not a spotlight dancer. I would probably even be a "bad" celebrity since I dont really get overly drunk, I dont do much drama, just being generally a bit boring in most parts of my life. Nah thats not for me, I dont need ppl to look at me.

hello ,everybody!it is so want to more and more money that want to be famous!but it is some way of add to money(sorry,i don't how say word) ,if you are super,it will be not decieve to when you doing anything yourself,send off myselfly.i don't know what your opinion.

everything has two side,what you should do is to balance it

I agree to that it depends on person, I'd like to be famous for something ) I would have a lot of money, but on the other hand paparazzi would make my life awful.. And I won't have personal life.
