I think that if people are instructed about anything it should be about the nature of cruelty. And about why people behave so cruelly to each other. And what kind of satisfactions they derive from it. And why there is always a cost and a price to be paid.
On movies you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.
I want people to think about movies and how we watch them. Let them know it's okay to question the structure or how we're sometimes duped into a false sense of normalcy. Most of all I want people to question the old standard practices of 'This is how the structure of something should work ' or 'This is how a character must behave.'
The less I behave like Whistler's mother the night before the more I look like her the morning after.
Growing up my mom was very strict about how I dressed and how I behaved and I said to myself that I wasn't going to be like that. But now I know I'm going to be exactly like my mom. I'm going to be worse!
If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level then why isn't it logical to say that in those few days women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?
Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children not just in the words they say but in the lives they lead.
A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old the incurable the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.
I'm learning a lot how to be good at what I do and also how lucky I am and take it all in and be grateful for all this late in life success I've been having and it's good to have people that have been around and successful for awhile and work with them and see how they behave and it's why they are who they are and why they're still successful.
The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic because you keep learning you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play I'm always in a play.
