[Buddha-l] cloyingly sweet? Call Me By My True Name (was the SlowMovement)

[Weng-Fai Wong]

Somehow the subject reminds me of a conversation with a doctor friend. He
declared "I never watch sob movies, only the brainless ones with happy
endings". I asked "Why?" He replied, "I work in the Emergency Department...
I see trauma and human tragedies everyday. Why do I need to see more of it
in the movies? It will depress me further."
