The Importance of Love

Rilca says only those experiences of sadness are dangerous and bad which we share with other people in an effort to drown them out. "Sadness isn't bad it's not dangerous um sometimes the worst thing about being depressed or feeling anxious or feeling down or isolated is trying to resist it" Rilca also talks about courage, resistance and art as he looks at a great section in stevens press where he writes about artists who have overcome artistic resistance. 'If everybody overcame artistic resistance then all the shrinks would be gone'
