"Words build bridges into unexplored regions."
Adolf Hitler
"The boy turning into the new man looks around. Beautiful women of all races are now glaring at him with mesmerized eyes. The tourist group still watching him as if he's a one man show. Some men are glaring from a distance whispering to their brothers, what will this guy say or do next? The new born man looks around at all the question mark faces. He puts on a sparkling Hollywood smile and sings,
"I want, fame!" almost inherently harmonizing the last word in that musical type voice.
"This fascinating feeling we experience when the whole world knows you and gives you their undeniable love. Wow, how much I would love fame!"
The guys at the corner thinking amongst themselves, "this street performer would never get world famous. I mean look at him!"
"Imagine if all our celebrities were actually famous for their good deeds, personal teachings and inner wisdom. We still have many respectable people in this industry that are making a difference. Even from the beginning of showbiz. We've seen Charlie Chaplin give the greatest speech ever made. A multi-talented man that had a loads of messages to the world. We had young modern stars like Bruce Lee. Connecting the eastern and western film industries. We had famous singers encouraging us to "imagine" like John Lennon, always being a reminder to us all. Legends like Bob Marley and Tupac whose songs and messages will live forever. They continue to inspire the love they had within them. Their understanding of the world, life and love, expressed creatively in their songs. All these modern day prophets! Why would the "man upstairs" ever stop sending those sentient beings down to this reality anyway? We need them now more than ever! Some ahead of their time. Not able to make the impact they prominently wanted. Perfect examples were Voltaire and Great martyrs like Socrates who died in torment because the people could not handle the truth! They were basically more interested in less significant matters. Nowadays it seems we choose to make some people famous for their appearances and for their genetic makeup in which they were born with. They simply got it from their parents. Putting celebrities on a pedestal! Some are hard workers and very talented though. While some have paid a lot of money to appear the way they do. Most are being used. Used to brainwash us! To distract us. Entertain us! An industry governed by dirty politics and mafia like organizations.
There is something about fame though. It can be used for evil as well as good. It can be used for selfish reasons as well as compassionate deeds. There are many ways to become famous! It doesn't matter how I fulfill this aspiration. As long as everyone that makes me successful, knows in their heart that I'll be using it for the right reasons."
A bold celebrity striding by, now happens to be an on looker. Cat walking with her body guards and little Chihuahua in her branded bag. No one bothering her for an autograph or a "welfie" this crowded afternoon. She nods all by herself while the maturing young man speaks.
"I want millions of people to give me their full attention! Why?! Not for my singing voice. Not for the way I can move my body. Definitely not for corporations to use me as an ingenious marketing act. Advertising products we never really needed or thought we wanted. Hence, Epicurus blamed advertising for fogging up our path to happiness. Me. I want and love fame because it allows me to send a powerful message directly to the people that feel me. Like countless creative minds in the past that kept wanting the people's empathy. With fame we can reach and preach to more than enough people so we can stand up one glorious day and fight for what we truly believe in! Together! As one!"
The new man smiles, starting to feel this love energy slightly radiate from the now much larger crowd. Cars passing by started to look for nearby parking spaces just to check in on the greatest street performance of all time. Or maybe they were just following the crowd, sheepishly as usual. The new man adds with a clear humble voice,
"It's important advice to not make fame your biggest dream in life. Rather make it a means to serve your greatest dream. A dream so big that the whole world would enjoy sleeping comfortably for days to come. A dream that is greater than all the selfish dreams we all have had."
