Nowadays, most people are aspiring to be wealthy with millions of dollars and famous with millions of followers on social media or millions of lovers worldwide. People with this mindset usually think that all their problems related to their life will be solved and they will be happy during their lifetime when they have a huge amount of money and a lot of fans. Is that really possible? Are all the rich and famous people in the world happy and satisfied? Are wealth and fame enough to be happy during life?
First of all, fame is not always a positive thing. Think about any celebrity in the world and emphatize. Every single thing they do is followed by thousands or millions of people in the world. Everything they eat, make, buy etc. is important for a substantial number of people, from kids to adults. While some of their fans love them, care about them and always say good stuff about them, there is a significant number of people and journalists that always try to find out their mistakes, criticize them badly about the faults they made and always compare them to their colleagues or other famous people. There are also some haters that always insult them and underestimate them. As a result, I think that being famous restricts a person’s quality of life and happiness.
Secondly, being wealthy can sometimes lead people to a bad way. For example, people who have lots of money can sometimes become overconfident and waste all the money they have. This leads to a huge money loss and this critical loss can cause depression and this depression may result in even a person’s suicide. Also, when wealthy people get everything they want, they can feel aimless and bored for the rest of their lives. It would be cliche if I said that money can’t make people happy, but I can say that money is not enough to be happy, which means that money can not guarantee happiness.
On the other hand, money and fame have some benefits for humanity if the person uses them positively for the world. Most famous people have the power to influence the masses. That’s why some famous people on social media are called “ influencers”. By the help of this manipulating power they have, they can be a model for lots of people and lead them positively.
To summarize, having fame and being wealthy is not always positive in all their parts. They both have some positive ans negative aspects. And this positivity or negativity depends on how the people use these.
