Question

I'm not a famous person, so in the reflection meditation about wanting fame, what is fame in the life of an average person?

Answer

Fame, when we want attention, we want to be something. We want someone to notice us, to be at least famous in somebody's eyes. When we are pulling away from obscurity and wanting to be noticed, to be appreciated, or whatever it is, we are pulling away from obscurity and seeking fame. Actually this is quite a strong one that influences most people. The seeking of fame in an average person is the seeking of attention, seeking of someone to know about this ego, this person I call myself.
