Edith Piaf
(The Sparrow)

I
was a child forsaken. I had no parents. They
were cruel. They left me to my own devices. They
tormented and abused me. The less said of them,
the better.

My life was full of mistakes. It
took a million mistakes before I realized that I
had to change. My personality was very stubborn.
I reached maturity at a very old age. Some would
say that I never did. I am/was very critical of
myself and of others. I didn�t forgive and
forget; more the point, I didn�t forgive and I
never did forget.

My personality was raw. I had no
friends and not many acquaintances; I didn�t
want any and I didn�t look for them.

Life was hard. Life was a battle.
When you have a heart that is �cut off� from
others it is very hard to form relationships.
Not saying that I didn�t have relationships; no,
I had many a relationship however; I did not
have any intimate relationships. No one would
have been game enough to do that. I would be
like the black widow spider and eat anyone who
dared to come too close; including both sexes. I
was not afraid of intimate relationships; I just
didn�t have need of them. I was enough on my
own. In fact; I revelled in my own company. I had
no need of someone to be with. They would want
my company and I would not want theirs. That was
the way it was. That was my life.

Elvis Presley

What can be said
about a man whose life is on show for all to
see? What indeed. There is much known about this
personable character who danced with life. Yes,
my friends; he ‘danced’ with life. In other
words, he didn’t take life seriously. No, he
didn’t think that life was worth taking
seriously, and this is one of the reasons for
his demise. He thought that he could ‘beat the
odds’; that he did. He thought that he could
‘get away’ with taking life with a grain of
salt; as the saying goes.

Woe betide anyone who does this. For those whose
life mission is to become famous, a certain
degree of this substance is required in order
for them to perform the things that this
experience decrees of them. That is right, my
friends. For those whose lives are to be ‘on
show’ there is a need not to take oneself too
seriously; else doom and damnation take hold.
However; there is also a degree to which this
can become a problem; as indeed it became for
this personality.

Too soon – This is chanted quite frequently when
a personable character such as Elvis Presley
leaves the physical body. Too soon indeed. Were
it not for this nonchalant attitude, the saying
‘too soon’ would not be heard as frequently as
it is. Yes, my friends; this can also be
attributed to many of today’s (and yesterday’s)
personalities who grace our entertainment
world. Too soon; too soon.

Maurice Chevalier

Darn,
darn and darn again. Why do you constantly repeat
the same old things over and over again?

(Yes, Maurice
Chevalier was indeed an impatient being. He
addressed this issue in a rather obstinate fashion.
He would seem to be patient when, inside, he may
have been fuming.

There was an air
of inconsistency to his personality. He would loathe
something one moment, and embrace it the next.

He was, at times,
rather unsure of his footing, so to speak. Then came
the moments when all of those traits would find
their way into the background and he would become
the epitome of love and all things good and kind.
Yes, my friends, the personality of this well
admired man would send many a friend running for
cover.

It would appear
that this man also loved his friends to the degree
of mothering them. His nature was as diverse as the
ocean. He would hold those he loved within his mind
as a teacher adoring his pupils.

Yes, this man also
thought of himself as a wise teacher with the
capacity of giving, known only to a few. He was
indeed a very generous personality with a bent
toward philosophising. He, indeed, had a clairvoyant
ability known only to a few. He could ascertain the
future success or otherwise of adventures and neatly
and methodically plan his path. Indeed, he could do
this for others. However; his all too direct manner
was, at times, something that meant his all too good
intentions went unnoticed; not due to their possible
ineptitude. No; they were not accepted, as a rule,
because of the abrupt manner in which he delivered
them.

It is wise to take
note that this man�s personality was indeed a huge
one; full of promise and yet, without tact, much of
his inner talent for understanding others, went
unnoticed. A great shame because he had a great deal
to offer in this arena.)
