Entertainers as Poets and Philosophers

In ancient times, poets served as entertainers, movie-makers, and philosophers. They would tell stories through rhymes around a fire in the desert. Similarly, in today's entertainment industry, artists like singers and actors strive for appreciation and attention from their audience. When a song or movie becomes popular, they experience a high, but when people start hating it, they feel worthless and seek to come up with something new. This cycle sometimes leads artists to venture into new territories or engage in scandalous acts to regain attention, thus lowering their own standards.
