The system is one of constant action. If I'm acting, then others are acting as my audience. There are no small roles in America, it is what one does with their role that makes them a star. Role models like Tiger are only good for one role, and with Tiger, that role is golf. Tiger is the greatest golf actor on the planet. There will be more after him, and there have been many before him. Tiger has become great in one particular action, the golf swing, and we love to watch him do that. So when we watch Tiger play golf, we are acting as the observer. We don't watch Tiger do anything else, so we assume that he only plays golf, which is idiotic. Tiger is a human being, just as we all are. Our society is one in which we are pressured to specialize, and yet expected to excel in every role according to certain standards. When only the talented few are the ones playing, and those without talent are watching, a terrible relationship emerges. Those who have, and those who have not. The one's who have talent are watched and paid by those who don't. The one's who don't have talent live a life of grunt work, depression, anxiety, helplessness and dependency. The majority of Americans are angry spectators, throwing beers at the players in jealous desperation. You are sinking into a role that you never intended to stay in. You've began to seriously believe that you are one person and that you will never change. Humans are changlings, we shift and morph and become and destroy ourselves only to recreate ourselves again. "All the world is a stage, and all the people merely actors".
