like to get rid of it if they can become
rich and famous.

Is it possible that some goals in Maslow's
hierarchy of needs contradict each other?
The need for self-actualization and achievement
leads to fame and lack of privacy, and this
implies a lack of safety. Or is it just the
modern media society which plays with
human emotions by creating and destroying
"stars" ?

it!
