Evie Taloney’s Thoughts on Nitpicking

Or How Evie Watches Movies and Series.

I try to just watch a movie or a TV show without some little nitpicker sitting on my shoulder. I love to lose myself in a show. I think a lot of people feel the way I do. That’s why a bunch of us still love a darkened movie theater and why those movie houses probably won’t go away.

So when I read that somebody saw somebody’s haIr extensions and they didn’t have that blonde hair dye back in the 1800’s or they don’t like the way somebody sounds “cuz my Momma is from those parts and she don’t sound like that”, I just let out a big sigh.

When in doubt turn to the Greeks:

The whole is something besides the parts“, said Aristotle a long time ago, in his wisdom way.

“The whole is greater than the part.” – Euclid said, in his mathy way.

That’s right. Most of the time the whole is a whole lot better than each individual little part. So savor the meal and stop picking nits. And, for good measure, kick that sucker off your shoulder and give him the boot.

And Clay feels the same.
