All of Your recent posts moved me, to write again.
The entourage - those who travel with or surround and accompany - one who is considered to be a very important person, has been around all but forever - it goes way back in history. Those in the movie and music industry today , hire and pay for an entourage to accompany them in public , to boost and promote their popularity ( as being stars) . The entourage - has become a modern day lucrative business.
------------------------------
The idea of looking up to people who were considered to be very important was beginning to become ridiculous.
What contributed to further opening my eyes , was - after the wedding ceremony of a prominent apostolic ministry and his bride , as part of the planned events - after the wedding ceremony - it was announced to the whole church they were to go outside in the parking lot to toast the newly married bride and groom.
It was late dusk and then became night and the crowd was thick, plastic glasses with champagne was passed to the crowd while the people waited patiently for the appearance of the wedding couple and their party - who were in a room on the second floor which opened up above and over - where all the people stood waiting below. Every one had to crane their necks to look up to view the bride and groom, from where they stationed themselves to appear above the people, to be honored with a toast..
I'd already been thorough a lot, had seen a lot and ( the lot ) of what I was coming to realize was forming with in me - and I said to myself, with a plastic stemmed glass in hand , in having to look up, " WHAT A FARCE ", . I drank to the bride and the groom who I loved but it was that night that I decided to stop ( looking up ).
And a few years later the bride and groom, were among those who were targeted and told they had to divorce.
What a farce and what a crock it was and really turned out to be.
DEFINITION FARCE : a farce is a broad satire or comedy , though now it is used to describe something that is suppose to be serious but has turned ridiculous.
