New Realization
as well as with what you've said, i think alot can really deal with how people are shaped to have to strive to be the best in their position. that feeling inside has progressed alot lately with the ability to actually broadcast these feelings internationally via television. actors are the evolved version of what used to be our paid entertainment, aka servents/jesters or whatever [long time ago]. now with actor's/rockstar's being our main form of entertainment like the slaves used to be, it's different. slaves were poor and could be found anywhere. these actors are something special in their appearance and their crazy demand, they have caught on to that, they make more than us and even now as we speak we wish they weren't so rich and wish we were them. the whole strive to be "them", which is really an ongoing cycle if you think about it, could very well be seen as man's influence for anything. the strive to become what is seen as important and the strive to prove that they do not see being important as anything special can very well cause the exact same outcome: your influence upon the world is determined and basically caused by the desire to acheive what you believe you want. when what we want changes, as does our society. as our society changes, so do the reasons why we feel we should change what we want.
To support what the main poster think's, let me ask you: what the fuck kind of non-stoner can spit out the philosiphic shit I just said? peace
