FAME AND NOTORIETY ARE OFTEN AN ADDICTIVE TRAP THAT, ONCE HOOKED, A PERSON CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF.
Success, especially quick success, is much more difficult to deal with than failure: relationship breakups, divorce, money problems, drugs and alcohol, sexual addition, anger, failed expectations, lack of humility, preoccupation with self and image, enslavement to the pursuit of success and a sense of entitlement are all a part of the 'Oscar Syndrome' whether from fame, fortune, financial success or any other myriad of other accomplishments.
The outcome for many, if not most, is the same. The statute above embodies the sad reality of life in a fallen world of reaching for things that can never bring real long-term contentment but never realizing it. Better to live with our feet on the ground, in the day-to-day, on the Rock than any worldly promise that never lives up to expectations in the long run.
Bottom line, enoy the acclaim for a moment, then let it go and get back to the real day-to-day living.
