That grocery bag example is a great one!

It really illustrates the point that even if we wanted to fully filter out anyone with a sordid past, it would be unrealistic to research the person behind everything we interact with. So true integrity would be impossible.

The argument that always gets me thinking is when there’s actually a negative butterfly effect because of our engagement — when a person who does terrible things profits off of our attention/money. When their business is active, can we still separate them from their art — and can we still separate our engagement from their bad acts knowing that we actively contribute to their power?

I love ethical discussions but they always make me so dizzy 😵‍💫 haha

A great letter to introduce me to your works!

Saw your post on Reddit about showing what you've read, and I checked your works, clicked this one and had a great time reading. This one is really simple yet impactful.

I love Charles Dicken's works, and to be honest, when I heard how he treated his wife (which is disgusting), I contemplated my admiration for him. I mean, there's no use in disliking his works because of his personal problems because if I haven't heard about what's he like, I would've continued reading his work without knowing anything. It proves that all it matters is consuming the art that's great in our taste buds and just leave it as it is.

Would definitely check your other works. :)
