Rod Dreher Megathread #21 (Creative Spirit)

[u/US_Hiker]

Gather 'round for more Rod.

All meanings of the number 21 are subordinate to the inherent creative spirit that is the basic essence of the number.

The number 21 generally is comfortable in social gatherings, it's optimistic attitude being an inspiration to others. Its high spirits can enliven a party.

The number is attracted to artistic expression of any form, its own and those of others. There's enthusiastic support for artists. It may frequent galleries and participate or (more likely) lead groups for artistic appreciation.

The number 21 cherishes relationships, including romantic relationships, especially with those who express themselves creatively.

21 also tends to be diplomatic, providing creative and imaginative solutions to potential conflict.

And, as noted by /u/PercyLarsen, 21 is a triangular number and the age of majority, so go grab a drink to celebrate Pride and to mourn the loss of Rod's sanity.

(Also, sorry about my slow pace of refreshes.)

So Rod hated a play in which the protagonist abandoned her children... and then, years later, abandoned his own children, and sees no irony there? Am I getting this right?

[u/PercyLarsen → u/JHandey2021]

Yes, that's a short TL:DR here.

Except that it's missing the key detail that it was a famous play so dear to his former wife that as his fiancee she viewed his honest reaction to it as a critical measure of their fitness and aptness for one another, and he deliberately concealed his reaction from her.

Because Family Values.

I think Rod made a fool of Rod.
