Superstars on downward spiral?

When you listen to the news, when you watch TV, listen to the radio or go online, most often than not, you will get to know some superstars here or there who had shot themselves in the leg.

If people are not careful they may end up being nasty. Some among the rich and famous are not immune from this. Success goes to their head. They may forget that in the past when they had not found fame, they were just any other person.

It is not easy to understand why people can lose their head when they have the money or become successful. Some even forget about their roots. One or two are too stingy that they don't give even a cent to a close family member. How much stingier can people become?

You can say that these superstars are on a downward spiral until they reached the very bottom of life. Rock bottom! Then they start blaming others, groups and or society at large.

Ordinary people can also fall
Ordinary people should not think that since they are not famous, they can't fall. It depends! Don't be too sure.

Not all people born in poverty can appreciate the importance of living within their means. Such people may spend all that they earn within no time. When they get more, their yearning to satisfy their "artificial" needs may take priority. Their real needs and the needs of their families will, then, take a back seat.

If these kind of people do not take steps to put  a stop to their acquired way of life, they will not experience true peace of mind.

Yearning for glory for glory sake is not right. Such a person may end up in shame for the rest his life.
