It is interesting to notice how, nowadays, many strive to achieve “success”, considering it life’s most desirable outcome, while someone like Einstein believed “value” to be much more worthwhile. What is the difference? The former is defined as “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose”, the latter as “principles or standards of behavior”. Big difference, isn't it? These days more than ever, many are beguiled by the mirage of fame, money, admiration, physical beauty, eternal youth, power, and are ready to overlook any ethical or moral value in order to achieve their petty ideals. As a result we are witnessing the extremely fast proliferation of plastic surgery, TV millionaire quizzes, questionable reality shows, promiscuity, bullying and abuse, to name a few. Thus society is led to forget the stars and brought down deeper and deeper into the mud.
