Attaining fame and fortune is not necessarily a guarantee of happiness. Consider the politicians cheating on their wives, the actors and musicians hooked on drugs, the greedy tycoons stealing from the working class to keep up their own extravagant lifestyles. And then there's Michael Jackson, the man-child. He was one of the most recognized people on the planet, a talented singer and dancer who could buy anything but happiness. He became obsessed with plastic surgery, was addicted to prescription drugs, spent millions of dollars foolishly, all in an attempt to find inner peace. Maybe we're fortunate to be ordinary people, making our own happiness with friends and family. Michael Jackson's riches couldn't prevent his untimely death, but at least he's finally found his happy place.
