I was rewatching Amadeus, and was thinking on why not to make deals, and the thoughts that Salieri vows were not for the reasons he thought, and maybe not even to who he thought. But there is another thought in that.
Amadeus Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBWCSc8CspAHere is the thing that I think has been so bothersome for a few years.
You find something really wonderful, a great song, or a great story, someone doing inspirational work helping people, or speaking and inspiring people. So many good things in different people. Personally I mostly do nothing, but I have been doing nothing when working and when playing my entire life, however while doing nothing, sometimes some of that inspiration from many people helps me do nothing a bit better.
And so many people think they are the bad ones, they think they can't be doing any good, they find liar when they look at things instead of finding lion, yet both are interpretations.
Then if you say something nice about something, or try to share what you thought was special done by someone, like a story or song or thought, or even an action, they want to turn it into something bad.
I think much of things is everyone thinks themselves Mozart, and everyone else is only a Salieri.A rich person says the mediocre poor want to take their money, a person doing good thinks the rich want to take away the ability of their organization to do good things by definancing them. An actor thinks someone takes the work they do, while a writer sees the actor taking a role written for something else. A grandpa or grandma teaching compassion to a family is thought not contributing enough work by some, while that elder feels kept in stress, or even allowed to die by unequal distributions by systems that move money up or lack of health care.
Everyone seems to want to claim the greatness is theirs, when really it is in many places among many people, and many share such things.
So going back to watching the rest of Amadeus, and thinking on things like those that think 'people are where they are suppose to be' or 'it is the persons fault, because they are not like them'
Maybe that is to harsh, maybe not, but been thinking on that, if that matters... maybe that is part of the inspiration of that movie, maybe not.
A favorite scene.
