Answer a Question with a Question...

[Rosemarie]

Why do so many people crave fame?

 

[hollydolly]

Do they think it will make them wealthy ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Some stars find that fame acts as an aphrodisiac, would you agree?

 

[StarSong]

An aphrodisiac for themselves or the other party?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you know that's it's the other party usually who find celebrities exciting ?

 

[StarSong]

Don't most famous people quickly become suspicious of people who fawn over them, narrow their circles, and revert to old friends, a la Oprah and Gayle?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you be surprised to learn that many famous people thrive on sycophancy

 

[Kaila]

They enjoy being adored and fawned over by strangers, who don't actually know them?

 

[StarSong]

Do you think that's because some of them believe deep down that they are unworthy of love or attention?

 

[Rosemarie]

Could it be the other way round, that they feel they don't get the attention they deserve?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you think everyone deserves attention ?

 

[StarSong]

Do some people demand attention even though it's a poor substitute for the love and approval they crave?

 

[Rosemarie]

Don't you find it exhausting when someone constantly draws attention to themselves?

 

[Kaila]

And do you find they don't stop demanding more, even if you or someone else, gives them some?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is the best solution to start ignoring them?

 

[StarSong]

Does that not encourage them to behave even more outrageously in their quest for attention?

 

[Kaila]

How shall we decide when to ignore and when to give some attention?

 

[hollydolly]

Have you ever been ignored ?

 

[Kaila]

Isn't it more important and hurtful if it's someone you know and care about, that is doing the ignoring, rather than strangers?

 

[Ruthanne]

Doesn't a bear @hit in the woods?

 

[Rosemarie]

Isn't constant attention-seeking a sign of immaturity?

 

[hollydolly]

Is immaturity also found in nature ?

 

[Kaila]

Isn't that an immaturity of a very different nature?

 

[StarSong]

Aren't baby animals the most adorable creatures? And is anybody else ready to shift this thread a bit?

 

[Kaila]

Which types of baby animals are more adorable than others, and I wonder why?
