Well, glad I could provoke an interesting discussion. Always love those philosophical questions. Never any answers, only lots of additional questions. laugh

Philosophy ... great. So skipped out on that and took other subjects instead.
Whereas, I took lots of philosophy classes. Aristotle, Plato, Socreties, the Bible. Even studying ancient Hebrew and classical Greek so that I could read the texts in the original languages. Aaaa... now those were the days. Sitting around, fervently debating everything about nothing. laugh

Always resented the time wasted studying English or Math. How were they going to help me in life? (Sorry, Gerry laugh )

Think I just confused myself ...
Welcome to most good philosophical discussions. thumbsup

it’s pretty much the reader’s mind that’s filling in all the dirt
Uhh... you've just described PG-13 laugh

I still can't quite believe that you did it.
Hey, I did nothing! Lois insisted on heading to the bedroom and, as we all know, where Lois leads, Clark is never far behind. laugh

Quote
I started to think, during Clark's reminisces about the evening, that maybe something had occurred to Lois
Well, good. If you, as the reader, can't see through Lois' motives, it makes it easier to see why Clark couldn't.

once empathy -- the ability to see things from someone else's point of view -- is really acquired around age six or seven, it is ingrained in the brain in the frontal lobe, separate from memory.
I found that information really interesting, Rac. I didn't know that.

I buy Lois' actions and even Clark's reactions etc. But YOURS on the other hand...
There you go, blaming me again! How many times do I have to say this. It isn't my fault Lois headed for the bedroom! Surprised me as much as it did you. So don't shoot the messenger.

I'm wondering where Star's mores lie. What will she determine is best for Lois' wellbeing? Justice under the law? What her vibes tell her? Will she want to see Lois before she decides?
Or maybe she won't be home when Superman drops by. wave


She was in such a good mood she let all the pedestrians in the crosswalk get to safety before taking off again.
