Madonna is seriously a dick. I'm watching Oprah and that's the only conclusion to which I can come. Only a dick can listen to Oprah talk about the change she's noticed in them and the 'softer vibrations' coming from them and actually take such talk seriously and accept it as an acknowledgement of the 'work' they've been doing on themselves. A non-dick would laugh at the lameness of it, or something, but Madonna doesn't seem to have her 'self-analysis' up when it comes to praise of herself... or of the positive effects of Kabbalah. I love it that when Oprah is sort of losing the flow of her point, she panics a little and then puts in the word 'spirituality' and Madonna immediately perks up. She talks about the HUGE lessons little Lola is learning at her spirituality classes, like how every action has a reaction. HUGE! Then she goes on to praise some weird schizophrenic mindset that these lessons have put her daughter in, which she calls 'wisdom'. Anyway, the kids learn about the duelling forces within themselves, the good and the bad, and then are provided with 'tools' to combat the bad part. You see, the bad part is 'not really them', but rather their 'opponent'. Slightly uncomfortable. Put me in mind of that scene in Donnie Darko where Jake gets all frustrated by the reduction of the vast potentiality of human emotion to two motivating forces; love and fear. Seems like a crock. Have noticed Oprah not a very challenging interviewer. Very annoying though.
