  • In this candid dialogue, essayist Fran Lebowitz weighs in on bravery in art. Timelessly hip, sardonic, and New-York-to-the-marrow, Lebowitz was recently the subject of Public Speaking, a documentary film by Martin Scorsese.

    Fran is fascinating and refreshing. She said one thing about her upbringing that sticks in my head, and is probably key to who she is today as an intellectual. She said, "When I was a child, NO book was off limits to me." She was free to explore the written word and to formulate mature observations and opinions about life and the human condition at a young age. When I listen to her, I don't feel so different from the norm because I identify with her in a lot of ways. I to am... An Observer.

      True. I was a registered dietitian for decades. When I first started practicing in 1981 most if not all hospitals were nonprofit. At some point, in the mid to late 80’s I think, hospitals began to convert to for profit status. Hospitals were always run as a business of course. We had to keep the lights on and water running, but our bottom line was to best serve the patient with the goal of healing. That changed. Hospitals became top-heavy with administrators who had the final say in decision making. So those of us with expertise in healing had very little say in what happened to patients. It was a nightmare. Still is. In my opinion we need universal healthcare/Medicare for all, and all healthcare should be nonprofit.

    Fran is so right about grammar. My former classmates and I attended 12 years of private, Catholic education before going to college. We are friends on FB, so we have discussed how brutal our teachers (both nuns and lay people) were whenever we answered their questions incorrectly. We were hit with rulers; we had our hair pulled; we had chalk thrown at our faces; and then, the worst punishment for each of us was when we had to stand in front of the class with our back facing the class, draw a circle on the chalkboard at our nose’s height, place our nose in that circle, and stand there during the entirety of the class period. So yes, we know our grammar, and we can write in cursive with fountain pens. 😳😂
    We also had to attend mass every Friday morning. Since we had started grade school in the late 1960s, this was a time period when all girls and women had to wear chapel veils or mantillas. If we girls forgot to bring our own, the nuns would bobby pin a sheet of Kleenex on our heads. This made no sense to me. The point of wearing veils was to honor and respect God. How could a piece of facial tissue be a sign of honor and respect?! 🤪🤭

And, it drives me crazy how poor the grammar is, especially from public speakers - politicians, news people on radio and tv, the list is endless. No one has ever heard of a past participle.
    One helpful use for my grammar skills is when I read older literature - pre-Hemmingway - I can sort out the sentenceˋs subject and verb etc from the word soup they present as good writing. Why use one adjective when you can string together seven?

      It occurs all the time. The best interviewer I’ve ever seen was Dick Cavett. When he asked questions-which were a mix of prepared questions and questions prompted by the response(s) of the guest-he allowed the guest to decide when he’d finished responding or when the guest wished clarification of a question. You could sense that Cavett was himself quite knowledgeable and well-informed by his manner and equally by the questions he asked, but he never caused the listener/viewer to wonder who the guest was.

    I have favorite writers because there are so few good ones, as Fran Lebowitz says, therefore if I find an author judge to be a good writer, I read more in order to avoid reading a lot of bad books in search of another good writer. Actually, the theory that if it´s not good in the first 20 pages does simplify things.

    Forgiveness is looking at an event you obviously cannot forget from different perspectives. I forgave my father for leaving us when I was a child because I've been able and willing to look at that event from his perspective, my mother's perspective and then understanding why the event happened and not blaming any one particular person for all the things that lead up to the event. It's basically a removal of blame - that is forgiveness. It's not a removal of a memory of an event.

    • @ladybug5859
      @ladybug5859 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thats a very good explanation because I have always said I don't need to forgive anybody because I never blame anybody I always figure it happens it happens for a reason and that's it so I really like your explanation because that puts in the details that I apparently go through because I do I will always think of it as a prism rather than a prison and as a prism the lights coming from Bryan many angles and these are all people's different feelings and why they act on those feelings is there a choice you may not respect them for that but you can understand is I guess so anyway yeah your explanation is very precise and succinct
