Let's put it apart and together again.
Reactions:
* What media do - they always did the same before. He's sadly used to know about their garbage.
* What haters do - they always did. No change.
* What family does - well, some of it expected, some not. Loving bonds however.
* What friends do - well, some of it expected, some not. Showing true faces is unveiling lies. A very unique experience to be able to sort the carpet crawlers out. A position to envy. Most of us never find out about their friends.
* What staff do - well, some of it expected, some not. At least you may judge who was doing a good job and is worth to be rehired.
* What fans do - well, some of it expected, some not. IMHO some of the extreme reactions did force MJ to set up scenes and occasions to tell he's ok for those so worried that they would risk health or even life.
I do not believe one second that he's sitting somewhere "enjoying the show".
I hope at some occasions he would have giggled, at some he would have had difficulties breathing from laughing so much.
Not to get me wrong - not laughing about the fans and the searchers for truth. But about the absurdities that were distributed.
After all, my impression is still that there is a reason behind that we did not yet fully understand. He has many helping hands that take care of the fans while he may not. At some moments, I had the impression he was personally in the web taking care of where the "mainstream of thinking of the hoax" should focus on. This is the best occasion for him to communicate directly with his fans and be a "normal" guy - if normal is a term that could be applied at all to him. Meanwhile he's working on the next project and is really busy.
And after all these months and reflecting where we are now, I am convinced more than ever that MJ is not returning as we knew him and is pulling more reins than we could think of.
Hasn't he already taught us more than anybody else in our life?
A good teacher will allow the students to explore and find out themselves.
A bad teacher will tell everything and demand "learning by heart" (which is forgetting immediately again).
Substancial learning can be acquired only by experience on our own.
That's why we had to face the crisis, each one on a very individual character and level.
Didn't he prepare us well with his lyrics throughout the years? Did we listen? Really?
He loves us more than we may imagine. Who loves let run free.
Imagine you and your dog. Will you unleash it and enjoy it running free? See?
Admiration for the king.
