“It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.” — Asian Proverb
(Not sure if I completely agree with this. If it’s something pleasant, sure. But if it’s the footage of the police beating/killing of Tyre Nichols, or the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, I think I can do without watching. Sudden graphic violence turns off people like me. I remember when I first watched “Goodfellas”, I had to turn away when Joe Pesci was stabbing that guy in the trunk of the car. I found it horrendous, and it left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the film. Don’t get me wrong, I love the movie now. It’s a modern classic. But I was very happy that it lost out to “Dances With Wolves” that year. “Asian proverb” is a pretty vague attribution, don’t you think? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
