The Hero Has To Become A System
The line I keep coming back to is this:
The hero has to become a system.
A hero can gather feeling.
A system has to deliver.
A hero can make people believe.
A system has to make life work.
A hero can speak against corruption.
A system has to make corruption harder.
A hero can promise jobs.
A system has to create the conditions for jobs.
A hero can stand with ordinary people.
A system has to make food, fuel, school, medicine, transport, courts and work more bearable.
That is why I am watching Vijay from Sri Lanka.
Not as a fan.
Not as a hater.
As someone trying to understand what happens when a public mood becomes power.
The trailer is over.
The crowd has become the public.
Now the hero has to govern.
