Drama serves a social function. Be it Greek tragedy or a medieval morality play the audience is treated to a pressure release, a “but for the grace of God there go I” pathos.

Drama: My starter on my car has been going out for a while now. I’ve been in denial about it or I put it on the hypothetical repair list for that point in time after I have the front suspension fixed. Well, it has fully died. Just as I get my car insurance paid up I get to suspend the whole thing and leave it parked. I can walk to the link. I can get to school. This is just another inconvenience. If you want us to meet somewhere you’ll need to come get me and if you want a ride you best call someone else.
