“Famous: Conspicuously miserable”
— Ambrose Bierce
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, being well-known or famous can seem like a glamorous and exciting life. However, in reality, it can bring a lot of stress and unhappiness. Think of a celebrity who is always followed by paparazzi and can't enjoy a simple walk without being chased by cameras. They might be rich and have many fans, but they also have no privacy or normalcy. This constant attention can make them feel very lonely and miserable. If you always try to be the center of attention or crave fame, you might end up losing the simple joys and peace in life. So, it's important to appreciate and find happiness in everyday moments rather than seeking constant recognition.
