I love when fiction makes the audience feel guilty about their role as the audience. When something fucked up is treated as a joke but later it's recognised how fucked up it was and the audience feels guilty for finding it funny. When a character breaks the fourth wall to plead for help, and you can't do anything so you just watch. And you know that the characters pain isn't real, but they're begging for help and you're not helping because their suffering is entertainment for you

moth by Brooke Shaden Via Flickr: Much of my time is spent thinking about transformation - seeking it, mostly, and sometimes suffering it. One of the most human features we get to enjoy is our ability to will ourselves into better people. I can see so clearly who that better person is to me - kinder, more gentle, more honestly creative. www.promotingpassion.com/9-31-july-challenge/
