One can be a Big Actor to the audience Even some who are not willing audience One can fool sometimes friends with the acts of emotions, well delivered words However in front of a mirror...one can't demand a clap of appreciation. Every Show Ends someday. Every Actor stop Somewhere. Vanity makes people such poor Actors. Pride makes Actors such poor People.

Soul of man! You live in the reposing head Which opens cosmic thoughts from eternal founts to you: Practice spirit-seeing In peace of mind, Where the eternal goals of the gods Confer The cosmic being’s light On your own I For its free will; And you will truly   think From founts of human spirit. by Rudolf Steiner complete

....a thought running since a question posed by a friend  - corporates are dependent on control over consumption, consumption is not a vote, people who consume are not voting the corporate to power over themselves, their lives, leave alone their consumption pattern. however, the need to 'control' consumption to 'sustain' their 'market position' often gets justified with the 'consumption' of their products as the data, raising consumption to almost 'vote' status. voting in a 'democratic' set-up includes control to make policy through majority acceptance, though often it is acquiescence. yet, it does provide policy making its power, the vote of the individual, a privilege granted to the citizen of a nation state for being citizen enough. granted  it has its flaws, but, it does provide the power. consumption is not a vote of confidence. consumerism is not democracy. corporate houses providing infinite options to satisfy the finite...

Co rporate d riven g reed Science Definition: Technical 'solutions' that are bandied as Science and quickly cobbled together in a bid to create a myth of providing benefits to a large population, but, primarily 'researched', 'patented' and promoted by a corporate (or many corporates) driven by greed to make a profit for not a reasonable length of time (years) before the same is 'proven' as not friendly to humans and a new 'solution' is similarly cobbled.  Risk: Dependent on power, access to power, corrupt-able nature of power and centralized power. Powerlessness, not having access to power, high integrity among those in power (particularly in political power) and de-centralized power is a huge risk for Codge Science and is countered with aided programmes, public relation campaigns, advertisements, paid media, brokers and sponsored research institutions.  Duration of Life: Self-perpetuating, believes it is immortal.
