«Ci baceremo domani sera, se torno. E saranno baci belli, Frank. Non da ubriachi. Baci con dei sogni dentro. Baci che vengono dalla vita, non dalla morte». - Il postino suona sempre due volte, James M. Cain

An underrated downside to refusing to engage with discomforting/undidactic fiction is that you miss out on SO MUCH. A huge chunk of the noir genre puts you in the shoes of someone violating breaking the law and/or grappling with an amoral legal system. There are few if any admirable people in the work of James M. Cain, but his bibliography has no shortage of absolutely compelling protagonists.

Great stories aren't necessarily feel-good ones.

I love watching kids shows etc but I do think there is a certain risk in never engaging with stories that don’t have a clear moral or “unrootable” characters. just on an artistic level sometimes you need to read or watch something that makes you confused and conflicted. for your soul
