Personal Choice or Fact?

The Pearls before Breakfast piece is interesting because it shows how much society sometimes just does not pay enough attention to their surrounds unless they are directly affected by it. In this article they talk about how they placed a famous musician in a subway and how only a handful of people stopped and appreciated what they were witnessing. This to me is a form of being entertained.  I think that in order for you to be entertained you have to be interested in the music, show or production.   To the people that had stopped and listened to Joshua Bell were entertained because they chose to stop and listen while the others just passed by.  This goes back to the fact that entertainment is a personal choice.  We are going to be pulled to events that have an interest to us.  If you are a painter then you are more likely to enjoy an art show then a monster truck show and vice versa.  That’s what this article is saying, we choose the things that entertain us and we are more likely to enjoy them because we showed some interest in them beforehand.
