In plays and such, there's the protaganist and this part where a chorus sings about him. Drawing a blank concerning examples, but I recall it many times. And wondering about it. Who were these people, this chorus, where'd they come from? How bizarre.
They're the imaginary eyes. The reassurance of the imaginary eyes defeating the futility of life, the endless actions that don't matter, that are fogotten by all. They are angels watching your life.
And perhaps related to god. Being able to enjoy their place in the art. If you feel any positive feeling in them. You're "believing" in god/magic.
What are other examples where on a mostly unconscious level one is "believing" in "god/magic"? Crying... There were others but it's been a 17 hour day. (14 hour workday).
