OK, I'll try: It's fake, because people have many different talents in the world. Each person has a specific passion for something: Sports, writing, whatever. Doesn't that all bring us to the same level? Like, shouldn't we all be the same because of that one thing we master?
OKAY, that was easier that I thought, but I had another theory, but I forgot it  big_smile

Some people are better at specific things than others. Just because we all have a passion for something doesn't necessarily mean we're good at it. Consider sports as an example; tennis in fact. Say I have a passion for tennis, but it's my second time playing the game. Does that mean I could beat Roger Federer.

But that's going completely off the subject of fame, this is getting into skill and specialization of skill.  I thought we were talking about the general idea of fame.

True.

What I was trying to say that just because we like something, does that automatically makes us known for it?

I meant something you're good at.

But though you might be good at it, you likely aren't the best person in the world at it. Anyways, media is what matters- that's why most people know certain names.

Re: Is fame an illusion?

Fame is like a setting of who follows you; For example, we see a person with 400 people following. The person is 40% famous, with 100% max.
