DAY 020 – DESIGNING DANGEROUSLY

Catharsis

It is so curious that we avoid catharsis. I do this all the time, choosing something mindless or meaningless rather than something that might move me. Why do we shield ourselves from something inherently good? Why choose the flat line of entertainment-lite rather than the peaks and valleys of a story, of a life-lived?

I don’t have any immediate answers. Truth be told, I’m incredibly bored with my own ideas at the moment. This task right now is a chore, but I’m pushing through, hoping to find something interesting on the other side. I need some creative refueling, but have a solid couple weeks before there’s even a remote possibility of that. Bear with me, reader.
