| Thank you, neumes & seiclan for your reassuring words! My college freshman D happened to call me yesterday so I also solicited her advice. She kind of put it in a very interesting perspective for me. She says that I really can't make a "wrong" choice because there is NO right or wrong. According to her, sometimes people with the "know-how" tends to stick with the "principles" or "theories" they have learned through their studies. Take music as an example. People with music training ( like my D, who is still keeping up with her piano lessons in college even though she's majoring in science) can be very quick to judge certain music as not very good or worthy because they violate certain rules of music composition. However, to the untrained ears of regular people, if people like what they hear, then it's "good" music to them, regardless of what the "experts" may think. I guess the same applies to movies, too. I've enjoyed many movies that actually got bad ratings from the critics and vice versa. The funny thing is that among my friends, it's the ones who seem to know a lot about colors that have expressed "concerns" whereas the ones who don't proclaim to know a lot about colors all tell me they think it'll look nice. I find that observation very interesting!! Maybe ignorance is a bliss! ( Me, included in that group, of course!!) |
