Popularity: harmful treasure
My tribute to the only Colombian who has cherished the Olympus of perfection in the opinion polls. Not far, no national history in the country has about as much as he get a 100% favorable image to the public. Everlasting glory to the great son of Antioquia. Praise to the insurmountable ... Jaider Villa!
Thalia and Melpomene, the divine ladies of comedy and tragedy, spoiling him with gifts. He was the anointed. The magnum. The actor yearned to take the interpretation to its peak. Parody, drama and pantomime it would provide its honey. Action would lead the country in the coming decades. "His empire on the characterization will be all," proclaimed their rabid believers, those thousands of viewers who, week after week, gave him an overwhelming lead in entranced votes against his rival in power (and increase its support fiercely if any sensible analyst dared point out the ineptitude of his champion.) Annals of the show ever sing for his epic and relentless victory over Pedro Palace: 93 to 7%. Outstanding. Memorable. As much as his career was unremarkable after conspicuous reality organized by RCN. They ran the years and his worshipers, immune to disappointment, still waiting to quintessential heartthrob perform at least a worthy role. Conversely, the once unpopular Pedro Palace is now a promising actor.
Jaiden's epic ocean summarizes the failures in which (often) incurred by the crowd when he decided infatuated with the possible merits of an individual. When choosing the popularity obnubila to local authorities. Scale is a traitor and a crook. For each skill tested, a historical route vuelapluma reveal countless disasters. There is to demonstrate the Gospel drama in four versions. Representémonos Pilate, Roman procurator of Judea, appearing before the Jews to inform them: "I find fault in this man. But you have the tradition that you release a convict on Passover. Will you, therefore, that you release the King of the Jews? ". Let us imagine the crowd, fond of a charismatic villain, shouting showing his proverbial wisdom: "In this no. Free us Barabbas! ". After which, the episode inevitable extended to the bitter epilogue to the crucifixion.
Interestingly, another story-a little less unhappy (even hilarious) - try the same, and also involves a member of the clan Pilate. I still smile when I recall the gasps of my contemporaries, the then duped by Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus disappeared today: those burly brunette, members of the duo Milli Vanilli forger, whose picture desleía myriads of ladies (and gay) who, in different latitudes, they listened All or Nothing, Blame It On the Rain , Girl I'm Gonna Miss You and other exquisite ballads that simulated ebony adonis interpret (and actually sang individuals less handsome but with genuine musical talent.) To this extent the thymus was swarthy giants that culminated, cheered and proud, as winners of the 1990 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. However, a kite of luck changed soon after in the universe hazmerreíres Showbiz having to return his award once discovered the ruse (I still think it would have been preferable to establish with them the unpublished category of "best fake artist"). Yes, the original singers were launched soon to the market as "The Real Milli Vanilli. To fail miserably.
But things do not end there. Proliferated everywhere (and thrive) to mass delusion, ambassadors of India and emperors naked-believe, like the tale of Hans Christian Andersen, whose lavish costumes are supposed to be invisible to the idiots (though, the reality is biting - almost always turn out to be fools indeed who see them). But woe to those who dare challenged suspicious to society its right to fall in love with illusion as he pleases, for they will be stigmatized and discredited. And, although democracy is universally essential, the mob (a term dear to the late Alfredo Iriarte to refer to frenzied crowds), it is often unreasonable and superstitious. As a result, Ortega y Gasset majority criticized the imposition of order number on all existential (which he called "plebeianism triumphant") and a century and a half before him, another remarkable intellectual, the English historian, Edward Gibbon, appropriated in his "History of the Decline and fall of the Roman Empire "that while the state of suspended skepticism is itself a few inquiring minds, the practice of superstition is so pleasing to the crowd that even when members are removed from it by force, as pleasurable regret losing state .
Ultimately, the people's will is often be the kick-more than the voice of God, for conspiracy more misery than satisfaction. Well I knew that geyser of epigrams was Nicolás Gómez Dávila when one of its scholia declared: "People sometimes succeeds when frightened, but always wrong to be excited." This assertion becomes valid creepy in this age where individualism overwhelms cosmetics, polls and pollsters are gods oracles. In our times false, the antidote to the deadly epidemic is embodied popular apprehension to those who maintain hygienic trends in fashion. We must protect these ugly ducklings, as many of them are swans insight. Listening can save new Vanillis Millis, future crucifixions, and protect our destiny! even novels featuring Jaider Villa.
