Simply being famous for doing good things, helping others.

Jesus, Ghandi, Martin Luther King... that’s worldwide famous, but I’m also including your neighbor who does good things for the community or your family member who does good things for your family and your family recognizes it.

those people were also killed because of the who they were. jesus isn’t really an example btw it’s contested if he did whatever he did (not talking about the miracles) and like it’s been said, fame really is just having a massive target in your back.
yeah, it’s good to help your community you don’t get famous but you have a good reputation - not the same.
Apr 16, 2020DVLPRYou’re right, the way I’m using the word fame is very diluted. The quote on OP is from a book called “A Guide to the Good Life” by William B. Irvine.
Here’s another quote from the book regarding fame to better explain in what context it’s being compared to wealth in this thread:
“The fame in question comes in varying degrees. Some want to be known around the world. Some seek not world fame, but regional or local fame. Those who don’t actively pursue even local dame nevertheless seek popularity within their social circle or recognition in their chosen profession. And almost everyone seeks the admiration of friends and neighbors. They are convinced that gaining fame (in some very broad sense of the word) will make them happy.”
Fair enough didn’t realise it was taken from somewhere. Still think it’s a misuse of the word - following on from the friends example you gave, surely you could logically claim that a man who wanted to earn enough to support his wife and children was seeking “fame” from them
