People who have an insatiable desire to attain wisdom and share it in their lifetime are fascinating to me…Wayne Dyer and Oprah come to mind. People who have limitless talents whether they be artistic, culinary, wordsmiths, or social skills are fascinating to me….Patricia Saxton comes to mind. People who give endlessly and tirelessly of themselves for the benevolent welfare of others fascinate me….every teacher I know comes to mind. Every child I have ever known has been fascinating to me. Celebrities, stars……not so much!!

I’m surprised at Barbara Walters for displaying what appears to be such a lack of depth. I chuckled in agreement at “I’m not enamored, and frankly don’t care what the Kardashian sisters do, think, eat or wear.” They did what to gain such a prominent place in our culture?!? Playing devil’s advocate, though, it might be fascinating from a sociological perspective that everyone on her list is a involved in a pop-cultural phenomenon.

For me, “fascinating” has absolutely nothing to do with success or fame. You hit it on the head in paragraph seven… “someone who may not even have the slightest idea that they are “fascinating”. For me, that’s almost a prerequisite. Great post!
