Thought for the day:
"Why is it that one likes being moved to grief at the sight of sad or tragic events on stage, when one would be unwilling to suffer the same things oneself? In the capacity of spectator one welcomes sad feelings; in fact, the sadness itself is the pleasure. What incredible stupidity!"
-Augustine's On Angst Fanfiction, circa. 400 C.E.
