HOFFMAN AND THE FAME NARCOTIC
Fame is the most pernicious narcotic.
It allures the innocent. It imprisons the user.
It leaves them tormented, restless and craving more.
It provides wealth that opens every door when emotionally and psychologically they really long for privacy and solitude.
Yet alone, they are tortured by insecurity and the loss of fickle adulation.
Our addiction to celebrity makes addicts out of our idols and strips them of their lives.
Scrap prize giving, halt award ceremonies, ditch gold medals and trophies.
Let each be content to reach their zenith without the fawning contamination of indulging admirers whose admiration proves mutually toxic and often lethal.
