A Screenplay

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

T. S. Eliot
American-British Poet

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.”

Seneca
Roman Philosopher, Statesman

In watching a basketball game or even the news, do you feel that most everything is hyped–that you are hearing a “version” of what is happening rather than the “real thing”? The same is happening throughout society and around the world–we are hearing a version of what is happening, a version that bears a resemblance to reality but only a resemblance.

When you look at a new car, do you think much about the fuel that goes into the car? Probably not though without fuel the car is going nowhere. It is the same with the world–we do not see the fuel–we take it for granted. Actually few of us even know what it is. I’ll tell you–it is the group I call the IMPACTS. They are the fuel for society–without them, nothing happens–yet they are not currently part of the story at all.

The picture of reality that we have in our heads is a screenplay. It is loosely based on the reality underneath. We are actors living out the play because we do not understand the dynamics at work. If you understand the dynamics, you can write your own play–one based on reality instead of one based on the reality of someone else.

T.S. Eliot also said–”Do I dare disturb the universe?”

It is up to each of us–do we blindly follow along or do we dare disturb our own universe?
