That's interesting. I wonder if that's why someone like me, who experiences emotions all the time, has trouble seeing things as black and white. I'm often a fence sitter, acknowledging the possibility that things are not what they seem to be, I wonder now if that comes from being emotion driven. Hmm, doesn't really matter, I guess.
I think the novels, poems and art that stick with me are the ones that hit some emotional chord. Of course, though, it matters that it is well crafted. It's good that we're not all the same, makes the field bigger.
Quote:The bottom line here, as I've mentioned in other threads somewhere, I strive for objectivity as much as possible. I don't always achieve it, but I sure would like to. I never look for emotional content in art - for some reason it always seems to take a little away from the parts that are objectively good. I prefer that everything be cut and dry, black and white - having a clear answer with no grey areas. The way I always have seen it, emotions are a grey area.
