Egos suck

I have worked in Hollywood for the past ten years and while I enjoy the employment, I dislike the big egos that seem to pervade the entertainment business at every turn. There can be such a warped sense of reality when it comes to what is actually important in life, compared to that which is imaged as being important that can create foolish power drives for some. Sadly the basis for some to gauge success off can contain some fairly shallow elements, all seeming to be born from the motivation of making a buck and stepping on whomever one needs to while making it happen.

While it goes without saying that the need to obtain money makes us all to varying degrees slaves to it and unable to always have a complete freedom of choice to what we do for employment, we do have the power to choose how we conduct ourselves. That is called being evolved. While a person can be a successful money-maker, they can simultaneously be a failure at being human if they whore themselves in the process.
