Famous?

 

Just the other morning I was watching the Morning News on TV. The news reporter was talking to the wife of a man who had just been killed in a drive by shooting. He was shot at 3:00 AM and by 7:15 AM the wife was on the local morning news crying and telling the horrible story. WHY? First, what makes a news reporter so impersonal that he would even go to the widow’s home, knock on the door, and expect to interview the lady? Secondly, what kind of person would answer the door and be interviewed on television about the death of her husband, just 4 hours after his death? It’s a fact; we want to be in the spotlight. We want our “15 minutes of fame” no matter how and when the opportunity presents itself.  Why are we drawn “like moths to the flame?”  Fame, what is it good for? Apparently… Absolutely SOMETHING! Think about it.
