that's power

So, I was thinking about a line in the movie "Annonymous" where a man notes the power from being seen by so many people. I still think, like a flower pollenating over long distances. The best way to pollenate so many minds is through popularly great positions.

I think of the great and powerful effect one songwritter had on some many, by placing his ideas in many minds through recieved songs.

Now, that is power, and I see how there are too many people using that power for a sort of self definition or affirmation, because acceptance of what they say means acceptance of them. But, to me it just say that everyone falls in love and then experiences heart break. Maybe we propagate that notion. I think of "Princess Bride" and the idea formed in a generation of people that true love is rare. In college, I used to get angry that so many people believed the history ad Hollywood portrayed it. Is it not a combination of truths with rainbows and unicorns or whatever is most entertaining. What sells is what people want to see and then they believe it as true because they never go and read the true history. Going back to where I started the movie "Anonymous" is one theory about Shakespeare, but for many it will be the only history they ever know, sorta like polititian's signs around election time. If we see a name more often it will be most familiar when we see the ballot.

Hmmm.... Maybe I should study Marketing.
