AS had a pessimistic temperment that deeply colored his worldview, like Buddha, he saw "world as suffering", a blanket generalization IMO. ~AH
Follow Ups:
Yes, but it goes with my own temperament. I tend to see it this way too, I mean the...World...
although I thought you would have been more of an optimist, judging
by your spirited, frequent participation at Film Forum. However, AS
DID advocate aesthetic appreciation, particulary music, (along with
moral compassion and aescetic discipline) to help
alleviate suffering. IMO, some semblance of balance should be
struck tween unattenuated optimism (egoistic hubris) and unattenuated
pessimism (idic inferiority). ~AH
Donīt you know that the merrier the clown is, the more depressed he gets...
But is is all a question of un-balance....
See the funny little clown
See him laughin' as you walk by,
Everbody thinks he's happy
Cause you never see a tear in his eye.No one knows he's cryin'
No one knows he's dyin'...on the inside,
Cause he's laughin' on the outside
ummm, no one knows...no one knows.
