The reason children are happy I believe is they are largely innocent of the knowledge of the horror of life.
As we became adults the laughter and enjoyment one has, severely declines. People liked Michael Jackson + Farrah Fawcett for the good times they once had with the performers, good times that are now elusive and harder to come across, the older we get.
Life is work. Emotional, Physical, Social, Spiritual, Intellectual.
Work to find and cook food. Work to pay for our house. Work to find a mate. Work to keep in our families graces. Etc-era.
An entertainer is to help people enjoy life, life of beyond bare sustenance existence.
Michael Jacksons work did that, Farrah Fawcetts also.
They added to the enjoyment of the world .
Cynics that say their death is no less important than an unknown starving childs, is true, but we don’t know that starving child, and that innocent starving child is in another country. Her/his death is not our direct responsibility. It is a crazy and cruel world, hard to find good things to enjoy in it amongst the war, famine, disease and pestilence.
Entertainers even if too vain are better than the four horsemen.



























That is a great post about how life is work and the Buddism quote. Nice job, Mark, thanks.

Still in shock over Jackson. This was a beautiful essay.
