These figue heads of the flock rarely know and understand the individuals in the heard. The heard self identify common traits and think "They're just like me!"
So they develop convoluted ideas to adapt without ever adapting.
Most of those ideas are promoted by the masses or faith based.
People rarely do their own research for their own sake. They rather follow someone who already has a large following for the sake of "self discovery."
We are made of our past. This new concept of only living in the now is... weird. It's probably why boomers are extorting millenials. There is no reverence for history.
Like Star Wars "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
I came in to the movie interested in its concept based on my past experience with it.
Should I do away with childish things?
The Jasmin solo solos (you'll know it when you see it) were the only parts\songs I didn't like. Only the songs. Then she snaps back to reality and I'm back with her.
Doesn't matter that I didn't like them. They weren't written for me.
Don't get it twisted. I'm not talking about you.
I probably don't miss you. I may think about you. We may be able to flourish when we reconnect. I look forward to that, but very few people exist until that moment.
You ever think you miss someone, then when you see them, you realize they have devolved instead of evolved?
...but then they THINK they have evolved? Like... this high level of conviction.
Constant revelation and reiteration of their newfound ignorance.
