I'm thinking about starting a career in stand-up comedy. Seems easy enough
It sounds fun, if you like performing and entertaining others.
I don't like entertaining so much. It seems like a good way to get free therapy. Ya know, spilling your guts to a stranger. Or strangers in this case.
Oh cool, yeah I get it. Entertaimnet is basically giving pleasure to others and holding their attention, while what you're saying it's more like a self-therapy kind of thing.
Sure. I'm OK with my therapy being others' entertainment. I can work through emotions, and talk about stuff that bothers me. And it's a socially acceptable way to complain and insult others. The perfect therapy.
Yeah it's kind of unethical to me, but to many it's acceptable. Speaking of ethics, maybe you've heard of NIcomachean Ethics? It's the name of best-known work of Aristotle on ethics.
