This is one of the best articles I have read. Ever. But this offended me the most: "Domino’s pizza with a side of cinnamon bread twists..." I don't know where to begin with this substitution for something that used to be called "food." It's a crime against Italians everywhere.

Now that I got that out of the way, back to Seinfeld. I don't know him personally, so there's not much I can say other than to respond to what I have heard him say in interviews. Jerry Seinfeld is a guy with a lot of opinions and a certain attitude, but that pretty much describes all of us. He is someone with a fair amount of talent, but a lot of luck, a comedian being at the right place at the right time with the right friends (such as Larry David). And this made him fabulously rich and famous, but it also made him arrogant enough to say that it was all his own doing. Nothing that ever happens to us, good or bad, is all our own doing. It takes a movement beyond comprehension to make anything happen.

The world is a scary, confusing, unpredictable place. Why? Because we as human beings are psychologically conditioned in a certain way to have fear, loathing, longing, and helplessness. The past is predictable, the future is scary.

If we go deep enough into this we cannot do so without first defining what "a real man is." Is it Sean Connery or John Wayne — both of whom were misogynists? Is it Hugh Grant who was once caught with a hooker while his gorgeous lover was home wondering where he was all night?

The real problem for Seinfeld and others is that the world is always changing. While you can hold onto your wealth, power, and fame for a good portion of your life, you just cannot hold onto the the vaporous substance of how things were when you liked them the most.
