St. Matthew’s Passion is a favorite of mine, though I must admit that I was completely ignorant of the controversy which surrounded it at the time of its release. Thank you for teaching me that, and I very much enjoyed this reflection on why “good entertainment” is so hard to define. Personally, it hasn’t been since thinkers like Augustine that I’ve seen a wise reflection on how “passion” and “pain” are not easy to define apart, though I was unaware Han had reflected on the subject (I’m always impressed with the topics he chooses to consider). The points on Heidegger, the “They,” and the arbitrariness according to which authenticity is determined were also excellent. As always, great work Trey!

Entertainment is the illusory expectation of some fulfilment which at the end of the day is but an inconsolable human loneliness. T Merton.
