Means and Ends

Movie Actors, Rock Stars, and Presidents
    So many in my class after those appellations went

  Decades later, not one of the above from my friends
    Seems that the means didn't justify the ends

They want the adulation not true friendship.

True. They want adulation, admiration, and attestation.

Same here, Gershon. Hindsight in my case shows means & ends turned out a matter of Follow The Dollar. Resulting ends required joining the common flow to pay the rent & support the family. Gig Shot lives require $ to support the time climbing to the stars. Nice, thought provoking piece. Concise. Sally
