I have to remember we are all people, imperfect, sometimes ugly people. Some of us have better façades than others, however. I see it sometimes, when I watch TV, some late night talk show: some of us have Personality (capitalization intended). I don't know, is it just a front? If it is, some of these masks seem bulletproof. They can take anything. Try to heckle such a person and you're the one that will end up looking like the fool, even though you're shielded by a whole crowd and he's up there standing alone. And there's also those who have such a Personality in print. They clothe themselves in the word so richly that you imagine them to be something like a walking stack of ornately engraved encyclopedias. Some people are like that, and I have to remind myself: they're just people. Just like you, just like me. They can break, too.

Of course, seeing that they're human doesn't make me any less jealous of them (at times). Or just being in awe of them, what they can do with a crowd, or to a camera, or a microphone. I dunno. There is, too, this rare case, and I don't even know if I've really seen it: where the person has It, yet they don't seem to know that they do. They can Wow people, but they seem not to be cognizant of it. Maybe it's at the beginning of their careers, before everyone they meet tells them they're fabulous. Maybe it's just a part of their act, just another element in the equation. But there are some people who are On with such a sincerity that they hypnotize me. They are so earnest, so real; I am truly humbled by such a being. Like I said, it may all be fake, but I'd like to believe otherwise — that there are some people out there who still value humility. And I know: they, too, are imperfect. But there is something about them that makes me forget that, just for a time, and I can believe in the dazzle, such light.

again, great point. we ARE all just as human as the next. i agree that there are times when certain people dont seem as "human" as the ones closer to me. they seem above and beyond the people i am used to, therefore appear less human to me as well. im rambling again. so i will go now.
