The significance here is that for the first time we're understanding how to control pleasure

It’s the opposite of “blissfully unaware.”

I was twenty then. I could always recognize a person who was not a Stalinist, a person whom I needn’t fear, by the way he smiled. A sense of humor was a trustworthy sign of recognition. Ever since, I have been terrified by a world that is losing its sense of humor.

Plaja e atit de plina cu oameni incit pare aproape suprinzator faptul ca nisipul nu s-a surpat inca sub greuatatea turistilor imbecili veniti aici ca sa stea rastigniti la soare si sa raspunda cu nonsalanta in 90% din cazuri la intrebarea "Ce faci?"cu "Ma bronzez".
Un barbat de vreo treizeci de ani isi invata baietelul sa inoate. Il ia in brate si apoi il arunca in apa. Baiatul inoata ca un catel, cu miscari dezordonate si se straduieste sa inainteze. Cind se apropie de mal tatal il insfaca si-l azvirle din nou in apa. Povestea se repeta de citeva ori. Copilul plinge fara sa faca prea mult zgomot si pare de fiecare data sa fie convins ca acum chiar va ajunge la mal.
In cele din urma reuseste sa fie lasat in pace. Se repede in fuga spre cearceaf unde isi ascunde capul in miinile mici si bronzate de sub care se aud hohote infundate de plins. Tatal se apropie, il mangie pe cap si il intreaba "Ce-i ma, doar nu te-ai suparat?"...'

It doesn’t even promise a compliment. What’s rewarded in the world is scarcity, so what matters is what you can do that other people are bad at.

I believe that the suicide epidemic in the United States, the opioid epidemic in the United States, especially among young people, is among people who cannot, in a sense, get control of the stories of their own lives.Dana Gioialuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02175616974982502598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397645.post-89173675620934071222021-12-31T15:25:00.001+02:002021-12-31T15:25:27.768+02:00 I think poetry has a social function but it’s a relatively complicated and subtle one, which is to say, the reason that we have art is, in a sense, to increase human happiness. It does that, essentially, on an individual level. A work of art awakens you. It awakens you to the possibilities of your own potential. It takes that potential, it enlarges it, it refines it, and each art does it in different ways. Music appeals to the auditory sense, an organizational, formal structure in the mind. Painting is visual. Sculpture is visual and tactile. In the old days, people always would feel sculptures. Poetry is to our language and our emotional functions. They awaken emotions and awaken our ability to articulate them.<a href="https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/dana-gioia/">/</a>luchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02175616974982502598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397645.post-23897687125016568142021-12-31T15:21:00.004+02:002021-12-31T15:21:58.359+02:00Behavior is hard to fix.

It was concealed by the unbeatable talent of Madison Avenue to self-celebrate its creativity while flattering the flair of their clients. But the actual efficiency of an ad campaign always owed more to the intensity of its media blitz than the emotional load it carried. The ad community was living in fantasy land, which sooner or later was going to crumble in on itself."
