New House M.D. is out finally. 2-hour season premiere. 2 hours of irony and sarcasm. How can you not love that guy and want him to be your doctor? (rhetorical question, if someone answers, he dies... I'm aggressive...)
So, as I was watching the new episode and enjoying the crazy ideas, his irony and sarcasm, out of nowhere I started thinking that House is in fact nothing more than a character that portrays human nature. (Yes, I'm in my contemplative mood yet again.)
I know some of you deny to be compared to House because he's a cynical high bastard, but the thing is that (like I said in an argument over House a few days back) he is more connected to reality that 90% of all people. Lines like "Everybody lies" prove it. House sees the world and human nature clearly, he knows everybody lies for something and that everybody does not exclude him. And indeed, think about it, everybody lies - for money, for love, to get out of the queue at the store, to have a better place at the bar... for what not. And how many admit it?
To be honest, when I saw House for the first time and heard that line, in my mind I denied ever lying. Just an example of how people deny what they are indeed. (I love using psychology on myself, makes me feel schizophrenic-ish.) Honestly, you have to have a lot of courage to admit you're lying. Regularly. About different things. You pass some things in silence. You distort truth. Doesn't matter. Everybody lies.
Besides for realizing the simple truth that everybody lies and we should never trust someone 100% until we don't check for ourselves, House has conveniently hidden behind walls of sarcasm and irony and behaves like an ass, turning everyone away. Making believe he doesn't need anyone. Truth is, he needs someone. Truth us, we all need someone. And most of us are not brave enough to admit it. Most people prefer to hide behind the walls of sarcasm, disrespect, insults... it's a pity that, unlike House, we don't realize it. We deny. We insult. We're selfish. We don't think.
Maybe the vicodin is House's way to get away from himself, although he stated many times he takes it because of his leg. House is getting high, but on the other hand, "We all get high. Drugs, alcohol, love, solitude, memories, hopes, religion, Ego, feelings, lack of feelings, change, stability, work, sport, sex. We all get high. No matter with what. If you need it. Then you get high. If you're dependent. Then you get high. Don't be offended. You know it too. Just admit it. We all get high."*
And what in the end?
Most of the people I know, sit and watch House entranced, thinking what an ass he is, how he gets high on vicodin, how he runs away from Cuddy, how he humiliates Thirteen and Taub, how he pushes Wilson away... without thinking how much do they resemble House... how much all people ARE like House...

Exactly. We all get high.
"without thinking how much do they resemble House... how much all people ARE like House..."
No they are not and they can never be House or anything remotely like House. They are those to whom House refer as 'people'.. liars, cheats and cowards, who are selfish and in self denial. In a word: humans.
Everybody Lies.
