A real actor is definitely not one of those described in Laura Stoica's song, Un actor grăbit. One who like the songs says, tells his line in a hurry, takes or not a bow then leaves for another scene.
A real actor lives you, like Marin Sorescu says. He'll put you in a trance, brother, and leave you with an ache, a little something to add on your baggage of engrams, like in Scientology or repressions, like in psychoanalysis or subconscious sins. Admiration, hate, voyeurism, envy.
A real idol will understand you, will annihilate your will and replace it with a desire to be alike. Like a sort of god. Is it a pure coincidence that in Sanskrit the meaning for the word भरथ,
bharata, can be either priest, king, barbarian or actor?
He will leave us with the undetermination of being or not a little like him. Because he's always changing make-ups and clothes and attitudes.
What younger people can't understand is you can never match an illusion. And you will never know what's behind it or motivate it.

Obesity And Fatty Liver Disease
My wife keeps on telling me how bad the liver of an obese person looks. Yellow. Doesn't have its color anymore.
Basically the officially recognized mechanism is: you eat and drink yourself to death, then your liver turns into fat before turning into scars when you get cirrhosis.
Let me tell you my opinion. This is not the causal chain. (I think studies are big wastes of money or maybe ways to funnel money and bribe the society while making it believing that this or that medicine or treatment or diet is good.)
I strongly believe that people overeat and do get obese because of the toxic environment ant inherent toxicity of processed food and chemistry based agriculture.
The body defends itself by craving more food when available because some of the toxins are being temporarily stored into fat, like first in the transformed liver cells then into the other fat tissues of the body and some other toxins are being absorbed by the extra fiber from "cleaner" foods.
If the "temporary" conditions become permanent, then you remain permanently obese, get fatty liver disease, and/or cirrhosis.
Human body is pretty well adapted to the use of alcohol. Of course it's a factor but not the main cause.

Santa Claus
"Sinterklaas [sɪntər'klaːs] (or more formally Sint Nicolaas or Sint Nikolaas; Saint Nicolas in French; Sankt Nikolaus in German) is a traditional winter holiday figure still celebrated today in the Low Countries,
including the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, as well as some
parts of Germany, French Flanders and Artois. He is also well known in
territories of the former Dutch Empire, including Aruba, Suriname, Curaçao, Bonaire, and Indonesia. He is one of the sources of the holiday figure of Santa Claus in North America.[1]"
My opinion as a hobbyist in linguistics, is that the name Santa Claus name does not come from a child's mispronunciation of Sinterklaas or Saint Nicholas.
Where it's coming from? I have no idea but if you take the letter n from the middle of the word and put it at the end, guess what's resulting? Too much of a coincidence especially when we try and switch the spelling of the name Claus, which i never heard in US, to the more common word claws.
Don't know about the creation of the name or the character but the use of it and the taking of the main stage at Christmas after so many years raises questions...
