I often made the experience that courageous (and forceful) people in daily life are so, because they do not get the implications of the risks they meet and often are very one dimensional persons without regard for their fellows. They are able to flatten others verbally without hesitation, because they do not even see his/her point, their only attention is set on enforcing their own power. They often get ready followers and that makes them really dangerous, as nobody dares to oppose them. (You see I have met enough of those people, to really resent them.) <br />I value bravery in the full awareness of the risks and a full evaluation of a situation much more.<br />For a long time, I hesitated to accept my love for writing, as I feared my stronger ability to express myself in written form would make me a more deadly opponent (which sometimes I had to be in business letters), whereas I am quite 'harmless' in real life ;o)<br />I needed RA to bring me to accept that part of me and find a comfortable balance to try and spread my wings in writing.<br />So I am really thankful to RA for a great deal of personal developement, I think I would not have made without him or without discovering his fandom.CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-79519822874568578362011-10-23T20:27:58.805+01:002011-10-23T20:27:58.805+01:00That's a nice parallel, actually, a bit like t...That's a nice parallel, actually, a bit like the writing of the Renaissance is supposed to display sprezzatura of the author. It does a lot to explain what's going on with me, anyway.

You are courageous, Servetus, and a grea...@servetus<br />You are courageous, Servetus, and a great inspiration for me in fandom. One reason for me that I did so willingly plunge into contact and meeting other fans was your sensible and analytical attitude towards the topic. You and your blog showed me what great persons are around in fandom !<br />With analysing fandom and its implications, at the moment I am comparing it most to "Minne Lyrik" of the high time of the Middle Ages. There the poetry was created to show the brilliance of the person it was directed to, but also of the creator, and the person it was devoted to sometimes even went into the background. The most similar part to fandom was, that it was not meant to gain the direct attention of the person it was written about, but to gain attention for the brilliance of this person in society.<br />In some way I think, fan-art is quite similar to those efforts of bards in the Middle Ages by creating art around a worthy cause. I am still exploring that, as I have forgotten most of my studies ;o)CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-9969547776055223122011-10-22T11:28:16.954+01:002011-10-22T11:28:16.954+01:00@Fabulaktuko

Yes, fandom is a great quest to be further explored and I am so glad we are on the exploration journey together !!!<br />I think the best part of the conversation starting was, what I had inside the bag.

Hopefully I'm getting more courageous.<br /><br />I think the matter of Schiller is interesting. I had preoccupations like that too as an adolescent (in fact, in response to one of them, my mother told my grandmother that it was a normal developmental stage and she'd rather I'd be fascinated by whatever it was than by drugs or something). I hadn't thought of calling that "fandom." I'll have to think about this some more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-84738957058225489952011-10-21T22:38:02.980+01:002011-10-21T22:38:02.980+01:00@CDoart

Your cloth bag is truly inspired and a great conversation starter I'm sure. I hope you continue with your quest and research into this fandom.
