Of course they are worth compassion. I just don’t understand their desire to be the center of attention, when all the acclaim of the crowd doesn’t truly bring individual satisfaction.

There is that aspect of it, but there’s also the aspect of writing your own destiny, about creating something you care about instead of just being a nameless cog in an industrial machine putting out consumerist crap day in and day out. Why is the latter more admirable to you than the former?
