No matter the times that one lives in, there always exist some figures whom society

promotes with an undying thirst. Being famous means drawing people’s attention, sometimes as a
reward for a major achievement and sometimes for the mere pleasure of having someone to be
entertained by.

On one hand, being famous means receiving recognition from a class of people. Humans, no
matter their emotional stability, love the idea of being validated. The veracity of the appreciation
received as well as the entitlement of analyzing someone matter less. This is the reason why so much
publicity is given to content creators. Shaping concepts for others to evaluate can no longer be
considered a trivial job as it has become the lifestyle of many modern-day individuals.

In addition to the constant attention received, the annual income of a famous person can be
an asset as well. Fame means money: the more famous someone becomes, the more money they
will have. This would also lead to higher standards of living compared to the majority of people. A
famous actress, for example, would choose notable brand names for her clothes, eccentric holiday
trips or uncommon culinary delights to satisfy herself.

On the other hand, by being famous you have a hard time keeping your life private. Privacy is
an essential thing for every human being. It is the charger that all of us need at one point in life. Even
though a life lived in the spotlight would seem intriguing at first, over the years it would become
more and more bitter.

Furthermore, fame brings serious life threats. This is the reason why celebrities have so many
escorts. A well known case of a popular person dying is the one of Empress Sisi of Austria. She was
stabbed by an Italian man during one of her voyages. At first, neither she nor her lady-in-waiting
realized. Her corset was tied so tightly, that she did not feel the tip of the blade. Only when she
fainted and blood started to stain her clothes did the two of them notice. It was too late.

In conclusion, even though being famous its own benefits, like receiving admiration and
money, it is of no good if you have to give up on privacy or your life.
