I suppose I can relate in terms of something finishing. When I finish a painting I tend to get really down after if I don't start something. It's sometimes like leaving a piece of myself in a painting. I scramble to look for something else to paint. I have interests within the interest linked to ar...

I appreciate the value of vicarious involvement with fictional characters. For years, Shevek was my hero. However, Mander points out that TV viewers are in a semi-hypnotic trance. Try observing how much the sound track controls your emotions directly to enhance and control the experience. To me, it...

A "story" is to real life as a park is to wilderness. It is nice to visit, but it isn't real life, so there is a tragedy anyway in the end. I'd recommend reading Jerry Mander's "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" and taking his advice. I've never owned one. Storyb...

If you follow the news instead of fiction, the story never ends, just some characters. You are living through times that will be written in the rocks - so don't settle for celebrity gossip as "news," either. I'm not sure I understand - you mean that the real world can be viewed as one big...

This is really interesting to me, because I was going to post something similar. I have no knowledge of art (although I wish!) ... But I have some specific and special interests, that brings me a lot of joy, and a lot of heartache. So I thought I'd share this with you. First off: I have no idea if I...

Funny, I was just about to post something similar to this. It's my first time in this forum, and I don't know if I actually have Asperher's or autism or anything. My psychologist is telling me to check it out - so if I seem ignorant of some things, it's probably because I am :lol: Regarding childhoo...
