Exaggerated significance of minor event

mercredi 20 avril 2016 à 02:00

A foolish man, Brok, saw a beautiful woman in a store. He posted her photo, asking people to introduce him to her.

Brok has foolishly attached exaggerated significance to a minor event, a momentary infatuation. He will learn that seeing beauty in someone is no reason to think that the two would like each other. He will learn that he has the same chance — the same minuscule chance, I suppose — of finding happiness or pleasure with any of the other fish in the sea.

The author has also foolishly attached exaggerated significance to a minor event, namely Brok's posting of the photo. However, the author's reaction is far worse, because it attacks everyone's human rights. The author advocates making it a crime to take photos of people you see in public places and publish them.

Bernie Sanders joined their picket line.

Would Clinton do that? I doubt it. She loves getting endorsements from the leaders of unions but doesn't really care about their members.
