It could be seen as a paradox. Humans eagerly try to avoid (personal) tragedies, while still loving the experience of seeing it happen and actively seeking to witness it.

I wasn't. The cover is fine, I've always wanted to read a book about the People's Army artillery troops. It's the title that's out of place.

I am also interested in this subject. Any good titles other than Poetics?

Even if we try to avoid bad thing it's not possible to avoid everything. Everyone has their share of frustrations.Watching other people struggle with their personal tragedies helps us deal with our own unresolved emotions.

>Brecht reasoned that the absence of a cathartic resolution would require the audience to take political action in the real world, in order to fill the emotional gap they had experienced vicariously.
How do you guys feel about that?

>I can't find my shoes, but I need to find them what a kafkaesque paradox!!!!

it's funny because it happens to someone else dipshit.

It is a paradox 100%, but I never really read any good explanation for it. Sadly, it appears none is recommending any book. Only Poetics.

People don't like slapstick because they like it when other people get pie in their faces.
