What do you think about the way society seems to categorise and judge peoples' 'success'?

I don’t really like the word success, but I don’t want to start making up my own words, it would cause too many problems… =)

Anyway, it’s kind of been making me angry lately =P, hearing on the radio, tv and in newspapers etcetc, the way that that society – or whatever is the right word – seems to (I’m going to end up saying this all wrong) idolise fame and almost sees everyone/ lots of other people as less and like they are living there pointless little lives beneath all that.

Firstly, we don’t actually know, what it could be that influences the paths our lives take, and for every single person every single thing that happens could be showing us exactly what we need to be shown. Sorta thing, but I won’t rant =)
So, why would people think that you are less important when really every person alive is here just as unexperienced as everyone else and just experiencing earth as they need/ want to experience it?
And also, the way people keep throwing around the word ‘talent’, labeling some people as having a whole load of it, and making it seem like other have none: isn’t it that everybody does? In so many different ways, and some people might not ever know of it, some people might not ever develop it or pay much attention, and some people might do, but still everyone must have things in them, even if it has only ever been subtlety shown…
Lastly =), it’s like people got caught up in things like ‘success’, and ‘fame’ and ‘wealth’, but when all these things are portrayed in the media, it seems that it’s forgotten about themselves deep within their minds, or their souls that might exist beyond the dimensions/planes of existence we know… or there are loads of ways you can put it, but it seems that is what really would matter (?) not earth ideals (...?).
PS! I kept saying ‘everyone’ but I don’t mean everybody on Earth, I was more meaning just the places I’d seen all this stuff, and it was easier to put it like that, sorry =)

I know it might just be that people with different personalities see things differently, eg. i was reading this thing about infp people, and although I guess you can’t categorise too much, apparently we’re not that infatuated with humans =P So sorry…

Also, sorry for moaning =/.
And feel free to beat me because I did go on for quite a while. =)
