All of Argentina is "going through a difficult time". I am in Argentina, and I have the soul of a poet. How can I not suffer? Besides, are you not aware that great art arises from great suffering? ;)
As far as my compulsion to write being "sad", the only sad part is that my work is so poorly rewarded. If that little green number at the bottom of my article, to the left of the number of votes, was showing $60.00 instead of $0.06, I would be one happy marsupial.
And yes, I have seen Love, Death +Robots. I have watched the first 5 or 6 episodes, and I found it mildly amusing, but the short story isn't my thing, (with the lone exception of Anton Chekov). I like long movies and thick books. I like the old fashioned style of story-telling, in which time is spent on character development and the tension builds slowly to the climax, followed by a proper denouement.
Dear @redpossum
I surely wasn't aware. First time Im hearing those words. But then I have no clue about art and poetry. Not my pair of shoes.
Cheers, Piotr
