I certainly want to avoid seeing awful things, I thing the avoidance becomes much stronger as you get older, you've seen quite a lot and also your emotional skin gets thinner, there are no words, just pain. YOu caught the pain and also that both the person who is suffering, and the observers, can do things. I'll see "Precious" though I've been avoiding it, and I take the caution to see in the daytime as a good one. this was a wonderful column.
