I have a confession to begin with I admit that I haven't met bond or 007 until I was 19 or something like that I was in college then and we had just finish a midterm exam, my friends said there is a new Bond movie on screen and we can jump there just after the exam, it was "Quantum of Solace" I admitted to them that I have never watched a bond and am not really interested in action movies (I was a hopeless romantic then), any way we really did we arrived there 10 min after the beginning of the movie, bond was being hit, thrown into lots of glass doors and getting beaten hard, a min after he got in control and began hitting the bad guy really hard, at that moment I found out that he hasn't been scratched not even a small one! after all these broken glass all over his body actually all over the place he hasn't been harmed at all! Hell what is that his suit is still bright and tidy as if he has just walk out of a fashion magazine! I looked around me and I found everyone really attached to Bond, no one is wondering, no one is sharing with me that big Exclamation mark that is attached to my face!!! "Hell what, is this the famous Bond?! I can't believe you guys " said me, they calmly answer " that is the way he is" . frankly I don't remember anything about this movie except that I kept laughing all along the movie, and of course I don't need to tell you that I was the only one laughing there!
The real reason I told you this story is that I found out that you can Believe, Enjoy and Get really attached to things that has no matter of sense at all AS LONG AS you are prepared to it, believing that this is the way to be done and actually enjoying the whole experience, the audience in the cinema that day was totally into the movie because they are already seen a bond before and they are enjoying this silly, unreasonable, shallow piece of art because they just enjoy seeing Bond winning and that's all it matter.
So if you prepare someone to a certain idea, make them feel that it is the ONLY way to be done, and convince them that it is natural and that is really make sense; So At a Certain point you can do, say, or make what ever you want and they will see it right and just FINE.
I call this phenomena " The Balloon theory" lets imagine together if you are inside a Red Balloon what would be the sky's color ? what would be the field's color? ha?
The Answer is RED
yea because you can only see through the Balloon, so if I changed the Balloon's color to blue then simply everything around you will be Blue .
Before you make judgments or take a specific side make sure you are not seeing through a Balloon, make sure you are not just watching a Bond movie and you are accepting all this unrealistic stories just because you like watching it ; face the fact that's a bit over or maybe a bit more :)
