why people lust for fame & wealth?

We look for money when we don't have wealth of character. We look for fame when we are not confident of our inner self. Wealth and fame should be the byproduct of what we do, not the main goal. But how can be something of such importance can be byproduct!! It's a difficult question to answer

Because Rich people always want everything and can just go out and buy it, no having to question how it will effect them, and poor people always appreciate what they have because they have to work so hard to get it. I know I was happier when I was a single mom making squat. Now it just seems that I have $$ and can have more things easier and it doesn't seem to be as much a a thrill to get things.

no. its not worth it. money doesn't guarantee happiness and being stalked 24/7. maybe that's why most celebrities are border-lining on the insane. something to think about.....

I think a lot of people are curious about EVERYBODY'S everyday lives and enjoy gossip about anyone. Tabloids, magazines, and interviews with celebrities ensure that there's a lot of information about celebrities out there. I have a feeling most people would read tabloids about their next-door neighbors if their neighbors had paparazzi following their every move. :)

That is decided by each individual and what they value the most.  Some people do not consider lots of money to be wealth, but rather their family, friends, etc.  Some people only count sentimental possessions as wealth.  Some people count their talents.  As I said, this is a question that is decided by each individual person.

I think that many young people look on their futures the same way that gold-seekers looked on striking it rich in the gold fields. All they had to do was find a way to get there and it would be waiting for them to pick it up.\n\nWith so much attention these days being paid by the media to the heroes that capture our youths imagination, young people believe that "Overnight Success Stories" are the rule rather than the exception.\n\nWhen they admire the achievements of athletes like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordon, they never think of the blood sweat and tears these men put into their earlier and ongoing training. All they see are the all star moments on the basketball court, played and re-played in living colour and the media concentrates on publicizing the advantages these heroes have: money, fame, fortune and the red carpet treatment wherever they go. \n\nThe adulation of fans knows no bounds and they all want to be like them but few ever do more than talk about it  because they don't know where to start learning how to achieve their goals. They just know that they want to be Rock Stars, Movie Stars, Singers, Models, and Sports figures (of outstanding quality, never mind just getting on the team).\n\nThe kid who wants to be a baseball star, but blows off practice to go out with friends will never get there. The girl who entertains her friends and relatives with her voice but takes exception to any advice from the people who know about voice training, will never get there. The girls and boys who have acted in every drama their schools put on, all want to go to Hollywood or New York, but how many opportunities are out there for them? Not many and they'll go to the people who worked their tail off BEFORE the audition to train themselves for that "lucky break." \n\nAll to many kids today simply don't know the meaning of "hard work and concentrated effort." Obtaining an education requires all that and more. Only the ones who somehow find the stamina, fortitude, and above all the motivation to keep carrying on, will achieve success. That is where we can help. We must motivate our young people and not necessarily with financial gain. Many young people are far more interested in "making a difference" in the political, cultural and environmental landscape, than they are in earning large amounts of money (though of course it is always nice if the two go together).\n\nAs for the rest, they will fall into the good old boy syndrome that characterizes much of modern life. It's not what you know but who you know, that spells success. Sadly, for many people that is all too true and one more reason not to bust their tails to get an education.

I would prefer having the love of your life because money is relative. There are tons of poor people who seem to more happy than people with loads of personal possessions. It seems like they found love and somehow they survive relying on the strength of each other.

maybe its bc people have more lust than when they show their qualities! like i mean, try to get to know them more, and maybe you'll find that they do have good qualities

Maybe its because you´re not a selfish like some people. If you´re capable to share your things (material or not) with the others, consider yourself a blessed man!!!\nIn a world as we are living, people do not value who have this kind of attitude.\nAnd sometimes we feel a little bit confused being so different ..... don´t running after money, caring about people and seeing what´s really matter .....\nBeauty, money, cars, jewels, etc, it all passes by ...... our values, friendship, love, knowledge are forever!!!

Because people always desire more.  It's just human nature.

true wealthy people seek value within, eliminating the need for material posessions.  Poverty is a state of mind.  You can live richly in the most extreme conditions

It was spoken about people who love money more than god. For them the money comes between them and God. It's fine to have riches on earth as long as they are not your first love.

Some people don't like their lifestyles, I guess. It bothers them that people who get as much booze, money, sex, and drugs are adored by millions.

Getting famous is hard work and if you aren't willing to take classes and go to auditions you don't want it badly enough.  No one really 'gets discovered'  They are usually working or have put in a lot of time and effort beforehand.  Get of your bum and get going or you are going to be on your sofa forever.
