Phoenix suffers from neither, she plays a game, and enjoys the fallout experiencedShe is the ultimate AGENT PROVOCATEUR.
Very interesting, purdey
.... Although I would not use the word "
enjoy" ... but the fallout as a consequence must be dealt with, and therein lies the challenge.
The only things that bore me in this game, is that one cannot chose one's opponents, and a remark made to one, may be hijacked by another, who may be less able to deliver the yearned for mental challenge but instead offer obscene exchanges .... like Big Al here .... And contrary to their egos desires... I do not enjoy obscenities one little bit ... However I think they know this, and that is where they get their fulfillment .....
But again that is the price one has to pay when one wants mental gymnastics. And just as with physical exercise, there is no gain without pain ....
However
there is no getting away from the anger that I feel at the injustices the Turks perpetrate ... and that is the
central focus of my "games" to find solutions or exercise my faculties enough to find them by some other means, hence use the anger positively .....
I do believe:
Anger can be brought out into the open – felt, experienced and respected as a basic human reaction to a felt injustice.
