Herrington: Why We Work at Caring So Much
Chris Herrington, Contributing Writer
Eventually, everything we do can be analyzed into an ad absurdum of selfishness….The word “I” expresses an acknowledgment of our owning our deeds, even if we are not fully aware of their subconscious intentions. There is thus a little dishonesty in everything we do, say, have….and finally even in our being, and first seeing this produces not true humility but a state of spiritual materialism….until ultimately the ego is defeated by its own game playing….we become God’s clowns, silly earthlings, foolish humans, etc.
Accepting that, the futility of our attempts to be good or do right, infinitely, would bring despair if it were not for the unutterable gift of love….we are loved in spite of ourselves….we see it in the eyes of others, we feel it reflected back from those we love….it is not owning, or obtaining, or manipulating, but merely sitting in the light of how beautiful it all is to be alive in the first place…not to make a big deal out of what we know or do, but rather just inductively seeing the nature of being as a state of existence that is so amazing it releases us from the shame of ever not appreciating it…we are just silly, foolish, and gloriously amazing….we just are.
It is for this reason that we can suffer the insufferable, the intolerable, the unbearable, and the unacceptable. Maybe then, seeing others for who they are, without objection because of our self-righteous indignation and outright rejection of them and everything they stand for, we can see the irony in their having crossed our path. That which we hate in others, we loath in ourselves. That which we fear from others, reflects our own inner demons.
It is self-loathing then that is at the bottom of our hyper-criticism. It is self-rejection that makes us demand perfection from others. It is our own shame that lies at the bottom of our humiliation of others. Our own fear of poverty which makes us squeamish about the poor. Our own insatiable nature that makes us hate the rich.
This may say a lot about those we hang out with, with those we poke fun at, with those who are the quick targets of our own remorseless barbs and sarcasm. We need them to remind us of who we are. They are us. And the more we reject them, the more true this is.
“The opposite of love is not hate, but rather indifference,” they say. It is amazing just how smart “they” are. No named experts have cornered the market on intelligent discussion, namely because we are too self-indulgent to think of these things ourselves. We are too wrapped up in our habits, our addictions, our own vision of the world to take the time it takes to really understand what others see. And the same is true of what we think.
We can see those who, like this, publish, do movies, paint, and post; all expressive people want feedback. They may not want or even need even constructive criticism; they may be that evolved in their craft, but they want feedback. Is it working, does it translate, do you get it? If this must include if you reject my work you reject me, then the artist has not sufficiently grown as of yet.
We are vessels of change, of entertainment, of information. In being the change, we observe, like Whitman, a blade of summer grass, the whirl of the universal fractally held within the cosmic dance of every event. The lesson then is to let the grass grow, to have events, to have experiences, and to be the change but to do it with the awareness of self-expression only. Self-deprecating humor is the best stand up. Humbleness is not something we can do to ourselves; we have to experience it in process.
We have children, we have mates, we go through school, we go to the dentist, we have moments when we lose it. These are shared experiences. These are human moments. To deny them is to become psychotic and at a loss in our compassion. To forget these shared experiences is to lose our humanity. To remember then is to be honest and true and worthy of trust. Why use against someone their own humanity? It invites the same on ourselves; and we can’t hide it forever. The truth will win out; it always does.

Former SFA band director to guest conduct
Dr. Kevin Sedatole, former band director at Stephen F. Austin State University, will return to campus to guest conduct the SFA Wind Ensemble at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 23, in Cole Concert Hall.
Sedatole is one of five guest conductors who will be leading the Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony during the concert, which precedes the SFA bands’ annual conducting symposium the next day.
Sedatole, who taught at SFA from 1991 to 1996, will be the clinician. He is currently director of bands and chair of the conducting area at Michigan State University.
“The pieces we perform on Friday evening will be used in workshop during the symposium,” explained Fred J. Allen, SFA director of bands.
The Wind Symphony will open the concert under the baton of Michael Oreka, graduate student from Chesapeake, Va., leading the band in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Folk Song Suite” and William Schuman’s “Chester.” This half of the concert serves as Oreka’s graduate conducting recital.
Three graduate students will conduct the first half of the Wind Ensemble’s portion of the program. Jay Weems of Stephenville will conduct Felix Mendelssohn’s “Overture”; Justin Allen of Spring will conduct the second movement of Percy Grainger’s “Lincolnshire Posey,” and Michelle King of Henderson, the fifth movement.

Student life depicted in SFA theatre’s original ‘Purple Daze’
Since January, 15 Stephen F. Austin State University theatre students and their directors have been collaborating on the script, rehearsing lines and perfecting musical numbers for the upcoming performances of “Purple Daze: A Student’s Guide to Surviving Four (or More) Years At SFA.”
The (New) Original Cast, the School of Theatre’s musical cabaret troupe, will present the play at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 23; at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 24; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 25. All shows are in the Downstage Theatre of the Griffith Fine Arts Building.
The students drew on their own college experiences as they developed the characters and their plot lines, explained Jason Davids Scott, SFA assistant professor of theatre who began directing the troupe this year along with Toni Smith, visiting assistant professor.
“They’re gaining first-hand experience with creating their own work, a particularly valuable skill since actors often need to do this as they start their careers,” Scott continued.
The 25 scenes included in “Purple Daze” are representative of the variety of issues college students face, including establishing their independence, dealing with community bathrooms and roommates, juggling academics and a part-time job, and working out relationships.
“It’s a fun and upbeat show,” said Lancaster senior Lamar Jefferson. “But there are also some serious moments, just as there are in any college student’s life.”
And just as a wide variety of music is ever-present for many students, the script is interlaced with songs from rock, folk, and musical theatre genres, Jefferson added.
“We’ve had a great time devising ‘Purple Daze’ out of nothing but our experiences and imagination,” said Dallas senior Jennifer Suter. “We’re really looking forward to sharing it with our friends and the community.”The show is recommended for mature audiences.
Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. For tickets or more information, please go to www.finearts.sfasu.edu or call (936) 468-6407.
