I had a moment:
I saw 32 likes on my facebook status -- small comparatively, but large for me. I had a brief internal conversation on the nature of my popularity, patting myself on the back for being so clever and likeable. Green gently reminded me of other small people, people who pursue fame, which is inevitably weak in comparison to the other fruits of existence. Ash, ever condescending, runs away with the sentiment, laughing at the pathetic Others who take pleasure in small victories -- luckily we know the difference, know what's worth boosting one's ego for.
Green reminds Ash of the nature of the"popularity" -- less than four dozen likes on a facebook post. Perhaps we are less high-minded than we thought, susceptible to the same pitfalls and ego-centrism.
Normally Green is the nice one.
