Points to Ponder

Okay, I want you to pretend. You're a person who just so happens to detest overexposure and attention-seeking behavior. You dislike those things so much, in fact, that you develop a hobby out of isolating one individual you feel is both overexposed in the media and who you believe engages in inappropriate attention-seeking.

You form an organization of sorts that keeps tabs on that person and attacks him/her for the "errant" behavior.

Now, let's pretend like you're hobby of keeping the target "in his/her place" attracts some attention. You discuss it with others. You make it part of your daily routine. More and more people join the organization. It garners some media attention. Soon, you're doing interviews and commenting on the "attention seeker" to major news outlets.

Then, at some point during one of the many interviews you mention that you're "enjoying your fifteen minutes of fame".

Does that make you a hypocrite? I mean, here you are, consistently engaging in attention-seeking activity and you're even enjoying it.

Should the revelation that attention and interest is enjoyable convince you to alter your outlook and to consider a new hobby? After all, you're enjoying a moment int he spotlight. You must be able to understand why that no-good attention seeker might feel the same way and make decisions designed to prolong his/her celebrity status.

Just a few points to ponder.
