Benefits Of Being "Unknown"

We live in a world where celebrity worship is to the fore. If I remember correctly...
I once read of a survey of young people...where they were asked about what they would wish for themselves...and a surprising percentage responding that they would wish to be famous. More evidence of this wish can be seen...in such things as...the videos some young people make ...of a group...beating up on one person...snd uploading it to an online system...in an attempt to get some notoreity. For many...the world of stars...of one kind or another...is one...much looked up to...and wanted. This has spawned the paparazzi...in the crassest way...hunting after celebrity pictures...vapid television programs about stars etc. Today...I've been thinking...of the benefits of not being a "star"...not having to deal with the paparazzi...or too ardent fans...and most of all...living your life...undisturbed by having to deal with the ups and downs of fame...as William Wordsworth once said...just living your life...like "a violet by a mossy stone"........................Quester.
