I can relate to that frustration. I can't even remember how many times I highlighted this issue while discussing in other threads. One of the main pro...
Wow, that data is impressive, because I always thought that a suicide note was written to just explain the cause and say goodbye to the world. But thi...
Although I agree that the hurtfulness of suicide cannot be removed, I still don't see why this act (plus the suicide note) can increase the hurt. Whos...
:up: I fully agree with this. I think I already discussed it with @"Bylaw", but while it would be nearly impossible to express myself with you in real...
You are right. Academic criticism of the works of authors is pointless most of the time. I think in most cases they attack directly against the freedo...
Notice that what Fosse actually used in the writing process was silence and not pauses. I know that these concepts have more in common than difference...
First of all, you can answer this and comment on the rest of the thread. I fully appreciate your contribution and opinions. Honestly, I haven't though...
Although I think I followed your points, I guess I am a bit lost here, particularly regarding the suicide note and whether this act is hurtful for the...
Do you think our exchange through TPF would be different if we used pictures with our real identity rather than logos? I am interested in learning mor...
When you say that you write less because you want something more social in experiencing, are you referring to acceptance or interaction? Because Fosse...
In Spanish, we call it 'alarma de incendios,' which can be translated into English as 'fire alarm.' When we are in a crowded room with people, we woul...
I am subscribed to a British girl on her channel, and she uploads short videos teaching slang or different accents in the UK. She says she is a Brummi...
I thought the thread 'A case for moral anti-realism' reached more than one thousand replies because it was educational, sensitive, and informative. Ye...
Interesting. Would you consider loneliness as a social disorder then? What about people who are scared of exposing themselves to others (like Fosse an...
This is the main point I wanted to discuss when I read his lecture for the first time. I nonetheless changed the name of the title of this thread beca...
Yes, I see what you mean now. I agree, and I like that. This is the main cause we are debating. It is not clear to me to what extent we are dependent ...
I disagree, and I personally believe that you didn't take the effort to read the thread, as that's what Metaphysician, jkop and I were discussing. Eit...
I think I expressed myself incorrectly. I attempted to explain that Fosse—this is speculation because I haven't read anything from him—didn't feel com...
Exactly. I take the train every morning to go to the place I work. It takes twelve stations to get there. When I am on the train, I always read my boo...
I voted for names, and rooted for Philosophy of Language. I don't know if you ever take a look at J.L. Austin. There are some threads of the works of ...
If only people would care to read them... This is the main struggle of each writer, I guess. Wondering if the stories will end up being read by the pu...
Yes, well explained. I like this example. I don't believe it was obvious for Fosse either. It wasn't easy for him to incorporate silence and pauses in...
Are you sure that he does not feel guilt? He expressed in his lecture that he actually received correspondence from readers or 'fans' who thanked him ...
Hmm... are you suggesting that language exists because we interact with each other? And, consequently, it can't exist if we express ourselves in lonel...
Absolutely. But I think this still is an individual and lonely act; it does not lead us to construct social connections. With my plot and my character...
@"Metaphysician Undercover" I am back again. Thank you for reading the lecture. I think Fosse meant to be contradictory, actually. He expressed how th...
I just read your answer, but I need time to develop mine and think deeply about what you wrote. I promise I will respond in the next few hours. I just...
I am interested in the Philosophy of Language. I have read a bit of Wittgenstein (specifically the work and study on him by David Pears) and discussed...
Although I agree with writing can benefit the introverted, I don't know to what extent it is a social activity. Yes, a writer needs a public, and this...
I usually considered contradictions as negative behavior, but after debating in this discussion, I think I am embracing a different idea. Being contra...
I understand you better now. I agree that maybe my original post is generalizing the process of writing. My intention was not to divide this into two ...
Although the reasons for suicide can be diverse, do you agree it is usually based on escapism as a common factor? Notice that I debate about this side...
I agree with your post, and I appreciate your contribution to my thread. I don't know to what extent facing death, not only our own but that of our lo...
Yes, exactly. I tried to explain this as well, and I think that's what Fosse is referring to. I fully agree with this. There have even been some polit...
I agree. I remember debating about this a few years ago. Even ChatGPT argues that suicide is universally frowned upon and doesn't distinguish among cu...
Then, it is understandable how some authors incorporate suicide or suicidal characters. It is natural and even more realistic than some other fictiona...
It is true that not taking suicide seriously is tasteless. But I think that in every expression of culture, suicide pops up, even unintentionally. Thi...
Firstly, thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on reading Fosse. I am now very interested in searching and buying a book of his. I am ope...
I am not having a good time recently, but you know, some periods are better than others. I like December, but I dislike Christmas; it makes me feel mo...
Well, we still have laws and customs which come from barbarian invasions. For example: the way we manage goods and debts, of the marriage, and the pro...
