OK. Sounds like a topic for another thread, methinks. Take care :sparkle: Put another dime in the juke box :cool:

Exactly. So, why do you say: How would despair be embarrassing?

Despair is not embarrassing. But staying there in that dark, mental space is not helpful. Do you not think that the song came from a place of despair?...

Listening to this, following discussion of creativity and cliché. 'It was a dark and stormy night': https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/...

Yes. There is always a story to tell. It's in the way that we tell it...see it or hear it...all senses on full alert. I read that Chekhov is the culpr...
