Huge Business
What a huge business human being have made out of fantasy.
There are shops and shops, both online and physical, that
sell costumes, movies, replicas of objects from movies, props, novels, computer
games, swords, axes, armoury, helmets, spears, all sorts of things that have no
practical life value at all. But they seel and sell for high prices some of
them.
Seeing this, is another sign of how asleep humanity is. To
give such high value to things that re useless or to things that only worsen us
is a sign that we are really asleep. What use is an axe, a shield, a sword
these days, or the sword that Gandalf used in the movie Lord of the Rings?
None, if you carry one around you’ll get arrested and even perhaps shot by the police.
These things serve to helps us try and make fantasy real.
But it always remains as fantasy, or as times that have long passed, of which
we can not bring back. There are people that like to re-enact battles and get
all dressed up as knights in armour and fight against others but still it is
not real. It gives a use or a kind of a reason or justification to have a
collection of swords, armour and shields etc.
Movies – Hollywood Fantasy Factory
Some of the biggest businesses are based on the value that
people give to fantasy, The movie business for example. If we all globally worked
very hard on fantasy things would be realer, all these actors and actresses
would get paid a more real amount and there would be less movies. Movies would
be used to educate and teach and entertain but about realities and real possibilities.
This would be good, because it seems for so many people
movies are education and are what educate us and set certain trends, fashions and
modes of thinking and hoping within us.
In some ways, the movie business is being brought to light
showing humanity that many of these actors, actresses, produces and film makers
are not virtuous as the characters that appear in their movies. We give too
much value to the person who only plays the noble character and not the example
that the noble character left behind.
End (2101).
