Is there a 'not' in there that doesn't belong?
Oh no ... Bloom is against empathy! That 'not' is definitely meant to be there, I am afraid. But, I am with you in this one. I also think it is misplaced!
I read a while ago, regarding fear though, that among other species humans are unique in the way that we seek experiences which give rise fear. It seems to me this applies to other 'negative' emotions as well! I don't know about you, personally, but I don't. I would love to watch Precious and 12 Years a Slave except I am afraid of how sad the stories are!
They will grow in tandem with his lying abilities, apparently!😬
Thank you for stopping by Alexander 😊
Have a wonderful week.
Ah, thanks for clarifying, cos I was confused, given the overall point you were making in the text, and I didn't know if the quote got an extra 'not' from you!
Yeah it's interesting that some people will seek, say, sad movies, and others will avoid them cos they don't wanna be sad. I know depressed people sometimes seek info that verifies their internal state. But I don't think people who liked 12 years a slave are all depressed! So it's an interesting topic, and perhaps one you can treat in the future!
I have amended my text after the observation you made (getting confused with the wording). If you got confused, others might have got too!
Thank you for informing me about that :)
Always my pleasure to make more work for you :D
