I went to a concert upstairs in
Town Hall.
The composer whose works were being
performed had provided
program notes.
One of these notes was to the
effect that there is too much
pain in the world.
After the concert
I was walking along with the
composer and he was telling
me how the performances had not
been quite up to snuff.
So I said,
“Well, I
enjoyed the music,
but I don’t agree with that
program note about there being
too much pain in the world.”
He said, “What?
Don’t you
think there’s enough?” I
said, “I think
there’s just the right amount.”
