Shah makes it seem that the need for attention is a fundamental definition of humanity. What about persons who don't like attention, and seek solitude? I, personally don't like attention, and don't think that fact makes me less of a person.
Shah wrote on this issue of "Attention" extensively. Reading his works and implementing his ideas has been an immeasurable aid in assisting me in my growth as a professional storyteller.
@hopeforamerika True! And think of the opposite of this truth, the robotic idea that one is wrong eo ipso for wanting attention, as if the rich man were to say to a beggar, "You just want food." And yet, in the shadow of this lie many of us were taught, or mistaught, by those hugging to themselves their pointlessly guilty secret, their attention hunger
1:18 that kind of interpersonal exchange cannot ever be underestimated. It's value can extend beyond the immediate sense of personal gratification of having been payed "attention" to.

@BabatheStoryteller My father whom met Idries Sha said the same thing. Sha simply took time with complete strangers regardless of race or ideology.
