Redo



Ok so this morning during our class discussion the topic of depressing Shakespeare plays came up. "The art is not depressing, it is only you or the art itself was made to be depressing. It's not the art". I think that it does show a lot about the way one thinks when reading a play or book and the emotion that comes from that experience. But I think that gets more into Freudian philosophy on the mind. Is the way that one preseeves a situation really they way that their mind works? If the happiest person in the world were to look upon a baby being born and find that it made them incredible sad, would that make them a sorrowful person?  I think Dillion (?) was saying in class about "Mashed potatoes and rocks in a garbage can" makes a bit of sense. Essentially we all turn back into little Carbon particles so why should such emotions effect us so wildly? It falls back into the Buddhist line of thinking would it not? Dharma. Period.
