When you act, you're being asked to pretend in a very rigid, controlled environment. it's very un-childlike. so a lot of times, when you put kids in that situation, you hope they have a better support system outside of what they're doing to bring them back to reality at the end of the day and to keep them well-rounded.

More From Patton Oswalt

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Every system tries to get people to conform to support that system. that goes for communism, socialism, free enterprise, or any other civilization. if they don't demand loyalty, they can't keep their civilization together. so what they do is they teach things that would support an established system. we do not advocate an established system. tvp talks of an emergent system into state of change. so that we always prepare people for the next changes coming ahead. so that people will not cling to the past.
Loyalty Past Civilization
The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.
Philosophy Reality Squares
The techno-industrial system is exceptionally tough due to its so-called "democratic" structure and its resulting flexibility. because dictatorial systems tend to be rigid, social tensions and resistance can be built up in them to the point where they damage and weaken the system and may lead to revolution. but in a "democratic" system, when social tension and resistance build up dangerously the system backs off enough, it compromises enough, to bring the tensions down to a safe level.
Levels May Safe
We know that kids who grow up in an environment of warmth and support will thrive and function in whatever environment they find themselves. what we need to do is to do more to help poor kids have such an environment.

May it not be asked of every intelligent friend to the liberties of his country, whether the power exercised in such an act as this ought not to produce great and universal alarm? whether a rigid execution of such an act, in time past, would not have repressed that information and communication among the people which is indispensable to the just exercise of their electoral rights? and whether such an act, if made perpetual, and enforced with rigor, would not, in time to come, either destroy our free system of government, or prepare a convulsion that might prove equally fatal to it?

I sit watching the brown oceanic waves of dry country rising into the foothills and i weep monotonously, seasickly. life is not like the dim ironic stories i like to read, it is like a daytime serial on television. the banality will make you weep as much as anything else.
