Drama

Not me

This op-ed piece by Bill Ayers is worth reading: “With the mainstream news media and the blogosphere caught in the pre-election excitement, I saw no viable path to a rational discussion. Rather than step clumsily into the sound-bite culture, I turned away whenever the microphones were thrust into my face. I sat it out.
Now that the election is over, I want to say as plainly as I can that the character invented to serve this drama wasn’t me, not even close.”

Sometimes I have the feeling that the character invented to serve a certain drama wasn’t me. Many of us might share this feeling.

I have this feeling all the time and it's always followed by disappointment and, also, relief.

Yes, the article was in the newspaper De Morgen too. Many people try to forge us to fit their own purposes.

Roles
We all have our roles to play but we are not always the author, dorector, or casting director. Oh well.
