Average vs Fame (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago by Tekkip20@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

What life would you prefer leading, an average but quiet and peaceful life? Or a famous life where you have glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.

I'm not sure about you but I'd prefer an average life of content and comfort knowing that while money is good, it's not everything.

Let me know your thoughts!

I've worked for and with some famous people. It doesn't look like fun, I wouldn't want it for myself. You're surrounded by enablers who will reinforce your worst character traits. The public gets exhausting to deal with after a while. Sometimes you're just having a bad day and don't feel like taking selfies with random strangers instead of going about your day. Public figures can be difficult to get along with in close settings because of all these reasons and more.

Wouldn't want to be one, I'll happily take their money though.
