The road to fame is traversed today with "likes" on Facebook and Twitter and with votes on reality television. It is a path which exposes young people to morally questionable relationships.
Ibn Ata al-Sakandri said:
"If you are given fame early in life, you rarely succeed later in life."
A lot of celebrities are deluded about their importance. They forget how they were in the past and how they might yet again become in the future.
Someone asked Ibn al-Mubarak what it means to be conceited. He answered:
"It means to think that you have something going for you that others lack." [Shaykh Salman Al-Oudah]
