So recently I've been pondering the idea of fame. What is fame? Dictionary.com states that fame is "widespread reputation". Now that does that mean exactly?

Fame, in my opinion, means that people KNOW who you are. Not just your name, it means they know you on a personal level. Sure being known by your name is great and all. But look where some singers have gotten, they were originally famous by their names, but now that we know who the singers are, and what they do; people start to hate them.

There are many different kinds of fame. There's the "bad" or little sister fame; where you start doing bad things, just so that people know your name, like a troll. The next fame is the "actual" fame; where you're famous for just being you, and people enjoy you. There's the celebrity fame, where you play some big role in a show, movie, or sing some random song, and people start going head over heels for you.

Getting famous is one of the hardest, and worst things for you to do. The only way to actually get famous, is to not try. Be yourself, get active in what ever community you're taking part of, and just not be a troll. Wanting fame is the other big nono. Wanting fame, will make you go crazy, because nothing ever turns out right to you, and you start getting mad, upset, other people become famous while you don't, and you have a really un-enjoyable time.

Being famous is the next subject I want to touch on. If you some how get famous in your said community, what do you do with the fame? Miss treat it, make everyone do your bidding till they basically become your personal slaves? Or will you treat all your "followers" as people, become friends with then, to a personal level, and just act normal. I mean, everyone is equal, so be equal as well.

Well I hope you enjoyed my first actual blog, it was fun writing it. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it, and the diamond button is always available ;D
Till later

Eh. Dictionary.com is a horrible dictionary.
"1a: Public estimation of person or thing, b: general recognition for outstanding achievement: popular." -Webster's Third New International Dictionary.

Also, you ought to read the Iliad. Will enlighten you about this idea of fame and glory.

Ah, the Illiad by Homer? It is a famous epic poem spoken by Homer of ancient Greece of the Trojan War. Great piece of literature.

No, its ok. Most people use dictionaries like dictionary.com without realizing how terrible they are. Dictionary.com will get you about as far as a pocket edition dictionary would. The best dictionary as of right now, and probably the foreseeable future, is the OED (Oxford English Dictionary).

But if you have not read the Iliad, you ought to. It will answer your question.
This has inspired me a little, I will write a blog in reply to this (Basically a summarization of the Iliad and its implications.)

Nice blog. I recommend you break it up into paragraphs though, it makes it easier to read.
