Felines and homosapians What is it about hte spotlight that makes it so special? In the animal kingdom, the leader of the pack is the one whom the other animals follow, the one who takes the stand and announces the way, or as my Chinese friends would say, the Tao. So whoever finds the Tao and gets the guts to introduce it to others has gained the respect and honor of being put in the spotlight as the leader of the pack. Once there, the animal is worth praise and worship. Specifically i am thinking of two examples of this; lions and high schoolers. If you think about it, they are close to identical. There are the dominant ones, the submissive, and the leader. Although in high school the leader may be plural, only if that leader has speaking abilities is he praised and honored and listened to. Noboyd follows the quiet kid,. Just the same, lions follow the loudest, strongest animal. Here is what i am getting at; today i found a primitive reaction within me to give honor and respect to anyone who spoke at the assembly. I put aside any and every prejudice and just wanted to get to know the person better than ever before. Now at that direct point in time, am I really attracted to the person? or the spotlight? or a quality in them...maybe the only reality i can derive from this train of thought it that for my wedding, nobody but my husband is allowed to speak. until i get another bizarre urge to type, later.  ¶ 3:38 PM
