To All The Entitled People Of Los Angeles Part 2 #100DaysofSummer

Every NPC needs a role. A job. A reason for living.

– Scott Rogers

The other day, I stopped at the Auto Zone to buy some oil for my car. The sales guy decided to engage me in some idle chit chat.

“How’s you’re day going?” He beamed with a big smile that seemed to go from ear to ear.

Clearly, this sales guy had some speaking lines in my screenplay. Of course I decided to probe him in order to see how many lines the writers of my screenplay had given him.

“My day is going well. I’m out on a walk and I decided to come buy some oil.”

Slight pause followed by a smile.

“Do you ever notice how entitled the people of Los Angeles are?” I said.

The sales guy seemed to get excited. He knew the answer.

“It’s a big city. People are stuck in their heads. Things are going fast for them. They don’t have time to be mindful of people around them.”

The sales guy smiled and looked my way. The writers of my screenplay gave the sales guy some spot on lines which enabled him to come alive in my story with some zen like wisdom that could have been taken verbatim from a Jon Kabatt-Zin book.

What Exactly is An NPC ?

NPC’s don’t think. They seem to just follow. And maybe the internet and social media has made most of the population become unconscious rendering them as NPC’s.

How NPC’s get speaking parts

There’s a theory that says we’re all living in our own personal screenplay. Some NPC’s have speaking roles and many do not. Sometimes an NPC May chose to improv if you ask them something or they ask you. Sometimes it may even unlock a hidden clue in you’re subconscious giving you a glass bead. And maybe you can even get a SAG card if you or the NPC get enough speaking roles.

Breaking the entitlement loop

The other day I was driving around Glendale with my mother. She insisted we stop at the Walgreens next to the Trader Joe’s. It’s literally on a corner of chaos. I tried to get to go to a different Walgreens, but she kept insisting we needed to go to this Walgreens.

As we were shopping around, my mother didn’t see what she needed. She decided to go ask the pharmacist a question. I followed behind her.

“Do you have anything for a stye?” Asked the woman in front of us.

“No!” The pharmacist gruffly replied.

I thought that was really weird.

“Come with me.” I showed the woman to an area with hundreds of eye medications.

I assured her that I’m a nurse practitioner. Apparently, I had a cameo in this woman’s personal screenplay.

“I actually had conjunctivitis last month. It was viral and I used Pataday eye drops for the inflammation. They are OTC and you can also use chamomile tepid tea bags to help decrease and inflammation.” I added.

“Thanks so much! I think my mom has a stye. Her eye is all inflamed.”

I also reminded her if her mother’s stye didn’t get better in the next 3-5 days that she should go see a doctor.

And that’s how you break the entitlement loop. You get into character and you help someone. Of course, you gotta make sure the environment is safe and you know what you’re doing. You probably also get some type of karma points as well. Extra glass beads to unlock some treasures coming your way.

Psychic connections

My moms pretty psychic. That’s where I get it from. And my cousins joke that somewhere in our DNA there must be some gypsy blood.

It’s incredibly curious that my mother insisted on going into that particular chaotic Walgreens. Did she get some psychic hit that someone needed help? Did she see some type of “bat sign” that was drawing her in?

Well, all that I can say is that if she was being drawn in psychically she wasn’t very conscious of why. But that’s how you wake people up from their entitlement.
