If it wasn’t for this habit of indirection, of course, there would be no culture in this world, and very little meaningful pleasure for any of us.
Oh my ! It is as if like a scale from 1 to 10. And if you jump directly to 10, it feels odd. You have to go through 3-5-7 and then 10. The art of indirectness is a lost one though. Now that everything is so direct, there is no place for culture to establish.
