The Rich Are Always Enamored Of The Ancient.

Actions Are Interesting To Watch. I Learn About The Actors. Their Movements Are Emblems Of The Tensions In This Internal Landscape, Which Their Actions Resolve. About-to-act Is An Interesting State To Experience, Because I Am Conscious Of Just Those Tensions. Acting Itself Feels Fairly Dull; It Not Only Resolves, It Obliterates Those Tensions From My Consciousness. Acting Is Only Interesting As It Leads To New Tensions That, Irrelevantly, Cause Me To Act Again.
