About Fame

It has come to my attention that some of my readers have misunderstood me, specifically misunderstood my post about wanting to be famous. Let me set the story straight.


It's not that I have wanted to be famous, I've wanted to be the best. Fame doesn't interest me as much as recognition.



But, what I am learning from Merton is that trying to be the best can lead to some very unhealthy things, especially for the artist. Instead, we should try to become ourselves, no more, no less.
